NOTES: • Batten sectional size varies depending on mandrel, taper (changes with batten length) and laminate thickness. Maximum leech sizes are approximate. • Average EI is calculated from a three-point bend test and represents the overall average stiffness of the batten. • Maximum sectional length: CT22 can be joined at 5.8m; CT33 battens can be joined at 5.9m or 8.3m. • Maximum sectional length: CT36 battens can be joined at 5.9m or 8.3m; CT40 battens can be joined at 9.75m.
