PLATEBATTENS
C-Tech PlateBattens are simply the most robust carbon batten available on the market.
Strongest
Prepreg fibre, autoclave consolidation and continuous outside layers = the strongest batten available.
Lighter
30% lighter than glass battens of a similar stiffness.
Expert Support
From dinghies to superyachts - Use our experience to get the right spec first time.
C-Tech is constantly pushed by the world’s top sailors to stay ahead and deliver the best products possible. The perfect balance of materials laminated with tapered layers on centreline ensure maximum strength and greatly reducing the chance of delamination or splintering. There are two standard types of battens available.
PlateBatten Range
Leech battens
Leech battens have unidirectional S-glass outside layers. Maximum draft postion 35%. Made from a blend of carbon fibre and s-glass, a higher percentage of s-glass near the tip provides flexible, durable battens. Available in stock lengths 1,000mm to 3,500mm.
Full-length battens
Full-length battens have carbon cloth outer layers. Draft position 40-45%. Made from 100% pre-preg carbon fibre cured at 120°c. Available in stock lengths 1,000 to 4,500mm long.
How To Select The Right PlateBattens
There are three methods you can specify C-Tech platebattens
1. Convert
Convert from existing battens to C-Tech PlateBattens using conversion charts.
If you are currently using a batten with a known EI value, you can specify a C-Tech PlateBatten with the closest EI using the conversion charts below.
2. Request New
Request C-Tech PlateBattens for a new sail based on C-Tech standard sets.
Our sales team can specify a set of C-Tech PlateBattens for a given yacht type using our experience and database of previously supplied boats.
3. Bend Test
Bend test existing battens to calculate EI value.
Measure the stiffness (EI) of your existing battens using the method detailed here. We strongly recommend to only bend test the back half of the batten to ensure the taper does not influence the results. Use a weight that will deflect the batten to approximately 10% camber. Once the EI values have been established you will have a reference point to specify C-Tech PlateBattens from the tables.
