I just got a new main from Doyle.  The batten that came with it is a 1/2" diameter fiberglass round rod that is 50" long and has rubber caps on each end (I just measured it). Do others have a rod or a flat bar? - rob

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Sail batten

While sailing on the lake last fall I somehow lost the vertical batten for
my Doyle sail. Does anyone have the dimensions of the original so I can
source a new one.? The batten that came with the boat was a 1/4 round rod
but the slot looks like it will accommodate somewhere around a 1" flat bar.
I suspect the rod was not original and was always trying to slip past the
velcro strap.
