Our new, tapered, thermoplastic roller battens.  Offered in set lengths (50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm and 120cm) in either a standard or heavy stiffness, we have built these to not only roll, but perform as a tapered batten would.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

Happy new year!

Chris is running RBS Carbon battens in his Quantum main, and RBS E-glass Vertical battens in his furling Quantum Jib. Right at the beginning of the video, Subatomic comes into contact with some fishing nets, and is able to steer clear of the nets using quick maneuvering and good crew work. Great job on the edit, and thank you for the video!

Thanks again and see you next year!
