Comments about Tapered Fiberglass Battens:
Works great. It didn't break even with 30+ kt winds and a very flimsy sail. Unfortunately, it doesn't float, so when the retainer blew out in a big blow, it joined the other few thousand things lost to Gitchegumee. I'm buying two this time to keep a spare.
