  • Apparatus for tensioning a sail
    Patent number: 5280763
    Abstract: A sail tensioning device comprises a handle 70, an arm 73 and a tube 75 which fit together to form the device. The handle is fixed by a strip of webbing which fits in an opening 77 and is stitched to a sail to provide an anchor for the handle. The arm 73 fits in a cavity in the handle 70 to pivot about an intermediate point of the handle and urge the tube 76 against a batten (not shown), as the handle swivels about the anchor. Urging the batten in this way forces the batten against a remote end of a batten pocket to tension the sail.
