Rigging Equipment: The New FULL-BATTEN System for 80' and Larger Catamarans Developed by ANTAL
Antal presents its new Full-Batten system, featured on the new Thira 80 catamaran by Fountaine Pajot.
The FULL-BATTEN system is equipped with forced battens, and the luff cars allow for faster hoisting and lowering of the mainsail, making it a key safety feature.
This fully battened mainsail also increases the sail’s longevity.
