Hi all, I am revising the main far from the hobie and I had to remove quickly all af the battens ropes. Any one can tell me the aroximate lenght to replace them? I dont have the batens here to mesasure them. Should they be elastic? Kind regards
So you had to actually cut the strings to remove the battens quickly instead of untying them? In any event, they should not be elastic. String diameter should closely match the groove cut into the batten ends. Length is only about 60 cm. each. I am not sure, though, that Hobie used the same batten system on the Getaway in EU as in USA. So might want to check with a EU dealer. There is probably a Hobie part number.
