Duotone Solid Foot Batten Replacement A

Maintenance of your Duotone solid foot batten

Cleaning: Rinse the battens and sail with fresh water after use in salt water, and let them dry completely before packing them away. Salt and sand can wear down battens and sail pockets over time, so a quick rinse significantly extends their lifespan.

Drying: Let the battens dry in the shade or indoors - never leave them to dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as radiators, as heat and UV light can make the material brittle.

Storage: Store the battens flat or loosely rolled up, preferably in the sail or in a dry bag when not in use. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of them, as this can cause permanent bends. Check the battens for cracks or bends before each sailing season, and replace worn parts in good time.
