I have seen a thread "is there a reason to buy a legal batten?", but my question is about whether there is a reason to update battens. I have been sailing the same boat for 32 years (which is still in a very good condition), and the battens came with the original purchase. The battens look fine (no crack etc.), but since I am buying a new radial sail that cost $530, I am wondering if it is worth buying a new batten set also as it is not that expensive, if that affects sail shape and hence boat speed even a little. This may not be an exiting topic, but I wanted to ask the opinion.
Thanks,
Toshi
