Abstract (en)

A sail batten car system, relating to the method and apparatus of attaching a sail having sail battens 19 to a mast 1 in such a way that the sail can be hoisted up the mast and removed from it. This invention will allow the use of batten cars 8 to transfer the load of the sail to the rig and the use of a luff carrier 2 to provide a means of connecting the sail, batten cars and rig. The whole sail, batten, car and luff carrier will then act as a beam and pivot about a point in front of the luff carrier This system can used with 'in boom' furling systems and high roach sails.
