Leech Tapered Glass Batten 500mm x 10mm - 3 x 1mm

500mm long tapered thickness 10mm wide sail batten, supplied individually, order end caps separately if required.
Tapered battens come in set lengths and are either cut to suit (cutting the thick end) or very often the sail maker will use a batten just short of the maximum permitted length to suit a standard size.
Also take into account that any batten ends will add to the overall length. Some smaller dinghy sails don’t use batten ends to help improve sail shape and these are generally sewn in. 

500mm Battens used for: 

A laminated pre-preg glass epoxy batten using a multiple pre-preg scrim layup (bi-directional to prevent the batten from twisting from torque) with the taper built within the layup, ensuring that the outer surfaces are complete from end to end - no exposed glass fibre. Increased durability due to hydrophobic epoxy resin systems ensuring the designed weight and strength.
