The CT AirBatten was designed to meet the need for an unbreakable batten in over-lapping headsails. The CT Airbatten is an air pressurised batten that is unbreakable, fatigue resistant and able to be furled (when deflated).

Successfully race tested on superyachts and in the 2007 America's Cup the CT AirBatten has potential to be used on all type of yachts. Development of an airline system allows CT AirBattens to be inflated and deflated while sailing (racing). This makes CT AirBattens suitable for use with furling headsails.
