C-Tech Ltd manufactures stock and custom-made carbon fibre sail battens for all types of yachts, from harbour racers and cruisers, multihulls and super maxis, up to the largest of superyachts. Manufactured in New Zealand and exported world-wide, CT Sailbattens were originally developed for America’s Cup mainsails in 2002. Syndicates using CT Sailbattens found them to be stronger, lighter and more durable than any other batten tested.
The unique design was so successful that a full range of sail battens was developed for all types of yachts. CT Sailbattens are now a product preferred by the world’s best sailors. Made from prepreg carbon fibre, and in some cases blended with prepreg s-glass, the result is a truly superior sail batten. CT Sailbattens are now the preferred choice for every America’s Cup team and Volvo Round-the-World yacht, most high-performance cruiser-racers, racing multihulls, maxis and superyachts. Our extensive database and wealth of knowledge and experience are used to make the best sail battens for each type of yacht.
CT Sailbattens are consistently produced to the highest quality standards using purpose-built machinery and custom-designed software. For more information, visit www.sailbattens.com or send an e-mail to info@sailbattens.com.

CT FLEXIFURL
Flexible headsail battens for yachts <50ft
The CT FlexiFurl is a low-cost, light weight, flexible sail batten for use with furling headsails. It is made from strips of polycarbonate plastic, moulded into curves. The polycarbonate curves compress flat when furling, then spring back into shape without breaking.
Nominated for DAME Award 08

These low cost quality pultrusions are tough, durable and minimise sail chafe. All styles are 30mm wide but vary in thickness to offer logical and progressive increases in stiffness. This allows different stiffness' to use the same width pocket and luff box.
|
|
|
Highest quality vinylester pultrusions deliver ultimate tenacity for demanding full batten applications. Selected for the 8T Global Challenge, the worlds toughest yacht race, they feature a logical and progressive range of stiffness', and a common 30mm width.
|
|
|
Outstanding stiffness to weight combined with low cost make round section pultrusions an excellent choice for full batten applications although they are most liable to breakage and can cause sail chafe.

Aquabatten-Pro is an exciting development from the most trusted name in sail battens. They are based on a combination of modern resin and laminate technology, and nearly 30 years of experience in batten manufacture and design.
The extensive two stage research and development programme behind these battens involved first identifying the optimum stiffness and taper for modern racing sails and then optimizing our time tested production system to use higher performance laminates.
Compared to regular Aquabattens these designs provide increased stiffness by increasing thickness and save weight by reducing width.

The Seldén RCB (Round Circulating Ballbearings) full-batten system facilitates full-batten sail management, and makes it much easier to set and reef the mainsail. The System is based on linear ball races and recirculating balls. The cars run with hardly any friction at all, even under the high compression loads produced by full-length battens.
The track and cars are made from aluminium which, together with Torlon ball bearings, makes the system strong and durable.

|
- Ideal for composite spars.
- Used with wing masts.
- Suits gates that are proud of sail track.
- Flat and round batten options with integral tension adjuster.
|
|
- Semi-circular seat permits wide range of batten angles.
- Smoothly radiused nose gives low friction contact wfth the mast.
- Price includes screws.

The range includes several types of laths with different profiled sections.
With this diversity, we can implement any type of coating lathing, from the simplest to more complicated, as on the image below or right curve, on gangways, with or without borders (around deck panels), with notches like ferns that are found in front of the decks of boats.

SIMILTECK STAVES
Since 1994 Martini Marinas produces Similteck staves, a special polypropylene resin, using the technology of injection moulding.Beside being a solution against the tropical deforestation, in compliance with the ISO 9004:2000 regulation that recommends the analysis of the impact of the product on the natural resources, the Similteck staves by Martini Marinas offers numerous advantages:
- Absolute absence of splinters
- No metallic screws.
- Radiating section. The Similteck staves are injection moulded and have a radiating section that dissipates the accumulated heat under the solar radiation, whilst others extruded plastic staves available on the market have full section, and become very hot when exposed to the sun in the summery months.
- Non-slip and antimycotic surface
- Elastic and silent walking
- Maintenance free
