I like the proposal by Keith Newnham and Chris Read for plastic batten ends to be made class legal. Being a newbie I take a long time to set my boat up and these would be a great help. I have tried to locate a supplier of these for cruising - can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks Bob. I did ask them for some but they said that they don't stock them yet as they aren't class legal. I'll try pressing them a bit harder!

The ends are made by Bainbridge International, but they will only sell to the trade & in minimum of 100, I had to assure my local chandler that 2 other owners were intrested at my club to make it worth him getting in the stock, as it happened 6 owners now have them, so it wasn't a problem.
