[quote=shortyfox]These are the kinds of responses I wanted. Yes, I do have adjustable batten caps but loading and unloading them also involves finding a clean grassy area and unrolling the sail, loading them, partially re-rolling it, putting it back on the boat and then reversing the process before going home. I won't do it on the boat because of the possibility of scraping the window on something sharp. Now this is no big deal, but this is SW Florida and I'm rigging the boat in a place that is blocked from the prevailing wind. What I'm trying to say is in the Summer, the heat is almost unbearable and the sooner I get out there, the better. Anyone reading this that lives here knows what I'm talking about. So, I'm going to continue doing the right thing, but I'll tension the battens before I leave the house, on a nice cool floor and most of the time when I get home, I'll rinse the sails and un- tension the battens then. By the way, tomorrow's marine forecast is calling for mid-70s.[/quote]
