Antal Full Batten Systems: Master Your Mainsail
With 7 track models and 14 types of sliders, the Antal Full Batten range stands as the benchmark solution for monohulls from 30 to 100 feet and multihulls alike. This system is engineered to optimize the management of full-batten mainsails, where luff loads are most demanding.
HS System (High Strength): Durability and Compactness
The HS system utilizes a tubular track and sliders mounted on HS fiber pads—a composite material with a low friction coefficient offering exceptional resistance to high loads and torsion.
Minimal Friction: HS fiber pads outperform traditional Nylon, ensuring smooth sliding even under heavy tension.
Low Maintenance: A robust alternative to ball-bearing systems, ideal for intensive sailing with simplified upkeep.
Quick Installation: Sliders are easily removed and reinstalled, facilitating sail changes or winter storage.
Fibreball System: Dual Performance Technology
Developed for large yachts and high-roach mainsails, the Fibreball system combines two technologies to manage extreme traction and compression loads:
Traction Control: Managed by high-resistance HS fiber for flawless structural integrity.
Compression Reduction: Facilitated by Torlon balls to minimize friction during hoisting and reefing maneuvers.
Captive Balls: Total safety during handling; sliders can be removed from the track without the risk of losing balls.
Technical Note: Every batten is connected via a threaded toggle allowing free orientation, complemented by intermediate sliders and headboards (double to quadruple) for a secure link between the halyard and the mast.
