I bought an 18' cat, but it doesn't have the battens for the sails. I plan on a little day sailing, no racing in mind. Do I need battens or can I sail without?
You definitely need battens. Check my ads. Pete

high aspect cat sails with a large roach need some kind of batten, end of story

$500? for the set of new foam filled tapered frp battens as found on nacra
