The Rutgerson Batten Receptacle Extender is designed to provide additional clearance between the batten receptacle and battcar system on modern fat-head mainsails. By extending the distance between the sail batten assembly and the mast track, the extender helps prevent unwanted contact with the mast while giving sail designers greater flexibility when optimizing sail shape and batten geometry.
Engineered for seamless integration with Rutgerson battcar systems, the extender offers a simple, durable and efficient solution for high-performance sailing applications. Available in M10 and M12 versions, it allows sailmakers to configure sail systems without compromising sail design or functionality. Designed and manufactured in Marstrand, Sweden for long-lasting reliability in demanding marine environments.
