Hi all, got myself another sail to re cut this time a Gaastra 4.7, its a lovely sail and should make a good storm sail when cut down. I need to take out the battens but they are different to the sailing set up with which I am familiar. The ends have a device over which there is a tensioning cord and the end appears to have an internal thread could anyone advise how it is slackened to remove the batten?



when I recut the luff I will be cutting into the mylar is it possible to get hold of the self adhesive reinforcing tape, what is it called or what alternative would you suggest?
Thanks
