[Rhodes22-list] Vertical Batten.

[Mary Lou Troy]

Alex are you sure the velcro isn't folded back on itself? That happened 
in ours and it was difficult to work it back out. If I recall correctly, 
and it's been a few years, there is a flap of velcro that comes down out 
of the pocket. You insert the batten and work the velcro around the base 
of it back up into the pocket. I think the loop of line is supposed to 
go around that flap to help help you take the batten (or the flap) out. 
Seems to be I needed a dull bladed dining knife to help me work it out, 
but as I say, it's been quite a while.

There's a diagram from Lee sails that I think is similar to ours on the 
Doyle sail.

Hope this addresses your problem.
