Mainsail batten tensioning devices on skiffs?? - 02/19/03 12:33 AM
I just noted on the 49er website they are considering allowing "mainsail batten tensioning devices" which supposedly have been trialed successfully in other skiff classes. Knowing skiffs are somewhat similar to our boats (except for not having enough hulls ) I was wondering if any of the "skiffies" on the forum was familiar with these "devices" and could enlighten me I'm fantasizing about some sort of remote means of tensioning battens under sail w/ sail(s) raised There wasn't any kind of a description or figures/photos on the 49er site (that I could find)-
Thanks!
