Date: 4/30/09 8:07p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Here is a layout of batten pockets (pic) (Rob M, P-21, Minuet building.) This picture shows a more complex assembly where a batten pocket had to be sewn over a patch. The are four layers to the patch and two on the batten pocket and chafe guard, one for the sail fabric equaling 7 layers of dacron and a couple more where folded hems are. About two inches are left un-sewn at the edges. Later when the edge seam tapes are sewn on the final bit of batten pocket sewing is done. You can also see one of the rope-tie two layer reef square reef patches on the sail
