Optimist Tapered Batten

Fits Optimist sails such as the Olimpic or Colie/Oil. Will fit the OptiParts Club Race sail, but the batten will need to be shortened slightly.

These battens are constructed in a unique proprietary process using pre-tensioned, uni-directional glass fibers in flexible epoxy resin matrix. This results in an extremely durable and virtually unbreakable batten. The soft tip allows the tapered batten to bend or conform to the shape of the sail without causing a hard spot where the front of the batten terminates in the batten pocket. The slim, tapering design allows for a smooth transition from the sail to the leech which results in a better sail shape and increased sail longevity.

Please Note: These battens come with the inner end cap already installed and do not require separate outer end caps. Battens can be easily shortened with a hack saw.
