No problems. The 2nd batten pocket fitting, which
attaches to the main track slider, made of nylon stripped its threads resulting
in the detatchment. We swapped round the second and first batten fittings in the
event that the defective fitting does not hold now that we have lighter (and
downwind) conditions which should characterise the rest of the
delivery. |
