ABSTRACT:
Jib sails for sailcraft comprising full length battens have batten pockets provided with rigid cups at their fore ends that have their opened ends facing aft to receive mating luff caps on the fore ends of the battens. The combination of such a rigid cup with a luff cap eliminates tearing of the sail luff by a batten when it is compressed in its batten pocket to create camber in a jib sail.
