Carbon Tube Batten 60% 10.5mmx2m Loftsails LS010060290

Carbon Tube Batten 60% 10.5mm x 2m — Loftsails LS010060290

Description: The Loftsails Carbon Tube Batten is a precision-engineered mast element designed to restore and maintain optimal sail shape for high-performance and recreational sails. Constructed from a 60% carbon fiber composite, the tube balances stiffness and controlled flex to deliver responsive sail shaping while absorbing shock loads. Its 10.5mm diameter and 2.0m length suit a wide range of sail types, allowing clean profile control and improved aerodynamic efficiency. The lightweight carbon construction reduces overall rig weight and inertia, improving handling and sail responsiveness in gusty conditions. Reinforced end sections and tight manufacturing tolerances ensure durability and consistent performance through repeated loading cycles. This batten is ideal for sailmakers, repair professionals, and sailors seeking a reliable replacement or upgrade that enhances sail longevity and on-water performance.

Key Features: - 60% carbon fiber composite construction for an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio - 10.5 mm diameter tube for robust profile control in a wide range of sails - 2.0 m length designed for compatibility with many full-length and replacement batten applications - Lightweight design reduces rig inertia and improves sail responsiveness - Precision-manufactured tolerances for consistent bend characteristics and repeatable performance - Reinforced ends to withstand concentrated loads at pocket and fitting interfaces - Corrosion-resistant composite material; no metal fatigue issues common with metal battens - Durable under repeated flex cycles for extended service life - Simple retrofit for compatible batten pockets and end fittings

Recommended Use: Ideal for sailmakers, sailing technicians, and experienced recreational or competitive sailors who need reliable batten performance for windsurfing and sail repairs or upgrades. Best suited to on-water activities where precise sail shape and quick response to gusts matter, such as racing, high-performance cruising, and advanced recreational windsurfing. Performs well across a broad range of wind conditions; the balance of stiffness and flex helps in moderate to strong winds while providing predictable behavior in variable gusts. Pairs with standard batten pockets, end fittings, and batten tensioners — recommended to inspect or replace batten tips and fittings when installing.
