Post subject:  jib batten leech caps

I bought a 1978 H16 last year and have only about a half-dozen outings under my belt. I sent my jib away this spring to have it re-sewn (some of the batten pocket seams had come apart). In any case, I got my sail back and I'm not sure exactly how to re-tie the battens. Two of the battens have leech caps and two don't (they just have holes). What is the standard knot for tying battens in place?

Thanks,
Miles

Post subject:  Batten Tie information in FAQ section now

I just posted a FAQ on batten ties.

http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=654#654

Other than this information, simply pass the line through the holes and tie with a couple half hitches. The information in the FAQ handles the "V" jam leech caps. Main caps are shown. Jib caps have one less hole.
