Hi Sean. It felt great and a little bit intimidating to be out on the high seas. When I raise my main sail, the luff end of the battens sometimes don’t stay in the the little plastic pockets along the luff. This results in the luff of the main not being properly taught. Question: Should the battens be somehow tightened into the plastic brackets—I notice they have screws in them? I have, of course, tied in the battens at the leech. Thanks. Hope you’re well.
