RBS Roller Battens

Introducing the NEW RBS Roller Batten!

Tapered roller battens for any furling application.  Using a unique glass integrated, thermoplastic molding process, we are able to build a taper into a roller furling batten.  Lightweight and impact resistant, the RBS Roller Battens provide function and performance.

Offered in lengths of 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm and 120cm and in two different stiffnesses, “Standard” or “Heavy” you can customize your sail profile.

With a functional operating temperature of -60 to 360 degrees Fahrenheit, the RBS Roller Battens can withstand harsh conditions.  Minimum roll diameter between 2.5″ – 4″ depending on length and stiffness (shorter and lighter, the smaller the rolled diameter).

To enable proper furling, the Roller Battens will be marked with a colored tab indicating the Aft, and the RBS Logo sticker will indicate the side of that batten that needs to be placed on the inside of the roll.  Reversing either of these will disable a proper furl.

RBS suggests removing the roller battens from the sail when not sailing to ensure a longer and more responsive life.  The longer period that the roller battens are kept rolled up, the longer it may take for them to regain their proper unfurled shape.  This is normal.

Contact your sail maker, or RBS for more information.
