Full Batten System

The 4000 version of the Sailman concept proves that it is possible to have a well thought out efficient and highly engineered in-mast system that is also affordable.

Sailman 4000's pedigree guarantees that it is easy to install, use and maintain. It is ideal for most modern internal track masts on boats up to 43ft (13m) and comprises; low friction mast sliders, robust batten boxes and a range of specially designed battens.

IN-MAST SLIDERS
& STRAP LINKAGE
Sailman sliders are available with a variety of interchangeable slugs designed to run in most modern masts. All moulded parts utilise the latest plastic technology to combine low friction operation, durability and strength. In addition all slugs benefit from a stainless steel plate inserted during the moulding process.

Series 55 BATTEN BOXES
Series 55 batten boxes are easy to attach to a sail and connect to the mast slide using a unique quick release system that makes removing the sail from the mast an easy, single-handed operation. The box rotates and lays flat on the boom when the sail is lowered. A range of batten covers accommodate most types of batten. When used in conjunction with Sailman or other 30mm wide battens, full tension adjustment is also provided.

Series 35 batten boxes are also suitable for using in this system.
