[Public-list] Full Batten Main Questions

[Elaine and Brian Timmins]

Not really, but it's better and easier if you do.
If you do nothing, you must make absolutely sure that the main is in full 
luffing mode when you lower it. You should have a slide at the luff end of 
each batten to transfer the batten load to the mast. It will work on the 
standard external track, but of course, it will be much better with a modern 
slippery or bearing car system.
