Two of my sail battens have sheared and cracked and now need replacing. I have tried a couple of sources in the UK, as well as our local sailmaker, but no one seems to stock tapered battens of that size. Does anyone know of a dealer in the UK or US that stocks them? (By the way, they seem to have cracked due to age, rather than any misuse!)
Thanks

I know that Haarstick Sailmakers have them in stock. I don’t know
about price. http://www.haarsticksailmakers.com/frames.html

Thanks Peter
Gave Haarstick Sailmakers a ring but unfortunately our sail battens are different - must have been a UK version - so still searching.

Andy,
My sails were made by shore sails.They have fiberglass battens. They
are 20+ years old and are like new. Try www.shoresails.com.If all else
fails the catamaran makers have all but the 2 longest batten.Hobie,
Nacra.
