RBS Carbon Leech Battens are the ultimate upgrade for performance and weight saving, using the highest quality aircraft grade carbon fibre.

Each batten is specially ordered and typically takes 10 to 14 days for delivery.

When fitted with a RBS standard outboard endcap the finished batten length will suit the majority of class rules without the need for cutting. The endcaps when used add 5mm / 0.2” to the overall batten length, with the standard length shown representing the standard batten fitted with the Inner end cap (which comes fitted as standard). It does not include the Outer (optional) end cap.

RBS have established themselves at the top of the market with their range of specially formulated epoxy battens, offering ultimate performance and durability whilst still being cost effective.

Custom Batten Specifications If you cannot find the specification you require we can offer RBS battens made to order for your specific length, stiffness, taper and finishing, with a lead time of approximately 10 working days. For an added touch provide us with your logo and/or boat name and have this printed onto the batten. This is particularly great for batten sets.

One Design Batten Sets If you have a one design class you regularly build sails for we can store your batten set specification and allow you to call off sets as you need them that will come trimmed to the correct length with your choice of caps, printed logos and labels to go straight into the sail. Contact us for more information and pricing.
