Main Sail batten tensioner

[Anonymous]

My mainsail I think is the original – it is branded “Turku”.  Attached photo is of a batten tensioner that has broken.  The mainsail itself is near the end of its life, but I am not ready to replace it.  So two questions:

– where can I get a new tensioner ?

– who has had a new mainsail recently and which supplier did you use ?

Richard,

I have same fittings and it looks like it was part of Seldon RCB full batten system. The seldon cataulog has a hows a picture of that type of tensiones, but the spares list does not cover it and most systems seem to be a bit more up market now. However I would start with Seldon see if they know, another route would be Northsails, but cant get on their internet this morning. Let us know if you track them down.
