Why choose the ANTAL Full-batten system?

7 rail models and 14 cart types currently represent the full range of Antal Full Batten systems, for monohulls from 30 to 100' as well as multihulls.

HS SYSTEMS

 
The HS system has been designed and developed for “full batten” mainsails where the luff tape is subject to high stress.
The system comprises a tubular rail and carriages mounted on HS fiber runners.
HS fiber is a material made from a low-friction resin reinforced with composite fibers. The result is a product with exceptional load-bearing and torsion-resistance characteristics.

HS fibers guarantee:
- more compact parts, as the high strength of the fiber enables shorter carriage lengths
- minimal friction under load, compared with traditional nylon runners
- reduced maintenance compared with ball-bearing systems
- quick and easy removal and reinstallation of carts on the track when changing sails.
Each batten is connected to a carriage by a toggle with a threaded end cap that allows free batten orientation.
This spigot is screwed onto a housing for round or flat battens.

Between each batten, an intermediate carriage is strapped to hold the luff.
A faceplate strapped to the top of the sail and connected to a faceplate carriage (double, triple or quadruple) by a removable pin ensures a safe and simple connection of the sail to the halyard and mast.

 

FIBERBALL SYSTEMS

 
Designed for large units and high leech GVs, HS fibers can be used to apply very high tensile loads, while Torlon balls ensure very low compressive friction during maneuvers.
 
Each batten is connected to a batten carriage by a toggle with a threaded spigot that allows free orientation of the batten. This spigot is screwed onto a housing for round or flat battens. Between each batten, an intermediate carriage secures the luff.

 
A faceplate strapped to the top of the sail and connected to a faceplate carriage (double) by a removable pin ensures a safe and simple connection of the sail to the halyard and mast.
 
Captive balls: balls running in the carriage cannot escape, allowing the carriages to be removed freely from the track.
