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.
