Mainsail Battens - Nacra F20 Carbon Assembly & Rigging Manual

2.3.4. Mainsail battens

Step 1.
We are first going to put tension on all the battens, starting at the bottom.
Take the two batten tension lines from the sail and put them through the
hole on the end of the batten.
Step 2.
Then go through the hole on the other side of the sail and tie a knot as
shown on the picture.
Step 3.
Pull on the two batten tension lines with the knot in it and just get rid of the
wrinkles in the sail. It is not necessary to over tension the battens. Then tie
another knot as shown on the picture.
Step 4.
If you are done with a batten then roll the sail up and go to the next batten
until you reach the top of the sail.
