I just bought a H16 and today while replacing the batten ties in the jib I noticed all the battens were short when you snug up on the ties the batten cap goes in the sail so that the cap barely pokes out of the pocket. I already ordered the Super Jib Battens for the boat but do not think they will arrive before the 3 day weekend and I want to sail this weekend. Any reason this might cause damage to my sail? |

No, and it's probably the best way to deal with the stock jib battens to keep them from hanging up on the halyard. Mine only stick out about 3/8". |

it might pop through but i would think its unlikely. but you could just take the battens out of the jib just for the weekend.... you probably wouldn't even notice a difference. |
