Where can you get replacement battens for broken S2 6.4 07. Broke two while sailing 2-3ft in Robe and when I finally got them out they are hollow and snapped in several places
They are flat at each end with hollow 1cm round sections in the middle - spoke with a sailor last night and he said he broke his and couldn't find replacements?
they seem a little easy to break - wasn't much of snotting either
Dunno if there is anywhere in SA, but you can try the Severne Loft in Oz Park:
Tel (08)9446 6847.
I also broke a batten in my 6.4 S2 and they sorted it out for me on the spot (Might have to ship them in your case).
Try Auswind (www.auswind.com.au).
rang the loft - very helpful - they will post some across
seabreeze where would we be without it!

Yeah well I know you are fixed up...but a little observation. I have seen a few brands of hollow battens and I reckon they are all the same. The ends can be taken out of the hollow part. I keep all my old battens from worn out sails and a few times I have done a bit of cutting and swapping and the results cannot be faulted.
Us landsailors rely on you good folks leaving them in when you throw the sails away
.
We then recycle them in our landyachts.
I never throw away a batten cos you never , never know what the next gust will do[}:)]
Hi Russh
Can you email your maling address to jesper_naturalcorp@bigpond.com
Then I will post the battens for your S2 6.4 straight away, so you can get back on the water.
Best regards
Jesper
