[quote=Edchris177]I removed mine, but found that the leech vibrated. See how neatly the jib furls AFTER the 2 original battens were removed, & replaced with 2 longer ones, orientated to match the forestay angle.
I had assumed the loft would just change the angle of the original battens, but they replaced them with battens of twice the original length. The sailmaker told me that the originals were placed perpindicular to the mast,(level with the water). In order to get the same effect now that they were at nearly a 45* angle, they made them twice as long.
I paid $145, but that included restitching around the clew plate, & adding the UV strips to the jib.
