Does anyone know where I can get the newer style batten caps that Hobie has been using on 16 sails recently??? I had one of mine break and I'd like to replace it but I can only find the old style rectangular ones. I'd like to avoid putting more holes in my sail to install one of those old style batten caps.

If you are talking about the luff batten cap... front end that bolts / rivets to the sail:

The current cap has been used for a few years. It has a radius aft that helps to hold the batten end in the cap during hard reverse rotation situations and when the battens are loose in the pocket. It has a Hobie graphic molded into it.

The parts are in the catalog parts listing.

The new cap is shown in the parts list as # 12480000

The required rivet is # 8011101

That is exactly what I was talking about.

Thanks Matt.
