Lazy Jack vs Dutchman Sail Flaking System
wrote in message news I wonder what Beneteau means by Semi Full Battens mainsail with Lazy Jacks. Why semi full batten? Does it help the battens from catching on the Lazy Jacks? Essie has "semi full battens" in her mainsail. No, it doesn't help the battens from catching on the lazyjacks -- it's meant to gain the benefits of full battens, but without the need for battcars. The battens are long, but don't extend all the way to the mast. I like them -- they help maintain good sail shape, something that regular length battens can't do, only being there to support the roach. |
