Hi Seabreezers,
today while I was sailing and as I came out of a jibe and flicked the sail one of clips that hold/tension the battens (not sure the name of it) broke on my 8.7 Neil Pryde H2 Racing and all the tension from the batten and cam gone making the sail very unstable...
This part is a plastic sort of lever that normally is threaded with a piece of rope and clips on the batten itself when closed at the very end of each batten giving tension to it (most if no all Neil Pride sails got them).
I hope someone that may have some spares maybe from an old sail can help me, of course I'm happy to pay for it. Unfortunately our local windsurf shop do not stock them and I'm kind to get back in the water...
If you can help me, please reply to this post otherwise my number is 0404 000 449
Thanks, Marty

Thanks 25, I went to WS&S but they don't stock them... anyway I just got of the phone with a great chap named Colin whom will send me one.
Thanks mate

^^^ yep so it is still a sailmaker install job

But if desperate for a DIY: The little bit of retaining thread can be substituted with kite line, superglued in with good firm clamp on it, then hand sewn.

They don't need to be stitched. It is a 2 min job to replace them but there is a bit of a trick. Cut a slot on the top with a hack saw and then put straight on.

Awesome

Great tip Brett, thanks mate!!!

Hi Martino,

Ciao !!!!
