ABSTRACT:
Sail battens for full battened sails are provided on their fore ends with luff caps that have an angled leading edge. The improved battens are used in sail batten pockets that do not extend perpendicular to the sail luff to prevent the batten fore end from wearing holes in the batten pockets as occurs with battens having square ends when used in such angled batten pockets.
