Full batten Antal tracks are realized both for HS systems, with fibre sliders, and for FB systems, with fibre plus ball bearing sliders. Available tracks dimensions are: 22x11, 24x16, 29x21 and 30x13. 22x11 track is designed specifically for HS systems, with fibre sliders. Track 24x16 is more versatile, as it accepts HS, FB sliders or even a combination of them both. The 29x11 track is for FB systems of large boats. Similarly, the 30x13 is the HS system track for large boats.
-
Full batten systems: each track profile fits sliders designed only for that track. In particular, what identifies a full batten system is the track profile and the length of the sliders. Antal full batten systems are designed to rig boats up to 100’ both cruising and racing.
-
Material and finishing: Antal full batten tracks are in hard black anodized aluminum plus Teflon coated. Silver anodizing finishing is available only on request.
-
Length and holes distance: Antal produces tracks good for different kinds of installation: choose a track for slugs in case of masts with groove. Masts without a groove or wooden masts will require installation with screws or glue, being glue a good solution for tracks on a carbon mast.
-
Hole distance: available single and double hole distance, for the different demands of ease of installation and holding strength of the track.
-
Length: Antal realizes 2 and 3 meters long tracks. Mainly depending on the position of the mast when the track will be installed, one chooses the short or the longer track length. A 3 meters long track is recommended if the mast is horizontal (non mounted masts), while the 2 meters long track is easier to install in case with vertical masts (mast already on the boat).
