I got a couple of battens broken on a 5.0 sail (#2 and #4 from the top). No
biggie/ easy to replace with the superb Sailworks support, but I am just curious
why do they break? The sail isn't that old, and in particular it's interesting
that 2 of them broke at the same time. I wonder if this may have been because I
overtightened them - I vaguely remember giving them just a bit of twist a few
sessions back because of a few minor wrinkles I spotted on the sail.



It's interesting that the sail didn't feel good at all when I tried to sail it
with battens broken (and it generally feels really good); I guess the things do
have a reason to be there :-).



thanks

Alex
