Ronstan Ballslide™ Batten Systems: The Ultimate Solution for Smooth Sail Handling

In the world of sailing, efficiency and reliability are paramount when it comes to hoisting and lowering the mainsail. Ronstan’s Ballslide™ Batten Systems provide a cutting-edge solution that ensures smooth, effortless operation for sailors of all levels.

Quick, Easy, and Reliable

The Ballslide™ system is engineered for quick and hassle-free mainsail handling. Its recirculating captive ball bearings deliver exceptional free-running performance, allowing for seamless sail movement. Unlike traditional track-based systems, Ballslide™ cars utilize the existing luff groove of the mast, eliminating the need for additional track installation. This not only simplifies the setup but also reduces overall maintenance.

Innovative Design for All Mast Profiles

With a comprehensive range of car profiles and feet, the Ballslide™ system is adaptable to most available mast profiles and luff groove shapes. Designed for boats up to 18m (60ft), this system provides a universal, dependable solution for a wide range of vessels.

Optimized Performance with Smart Engineering

Ballslide™ cars are designed to operate on twin races of recirculating ball bearings, specifically oriented for handling compression loads. The result? Hoisting and dropping the mainsail has never been easier!

Additional ball joint links for batten receptacles and quick-release pins for intermediate cars are meticulously crafted to keep the distance between the mast and mainsail luff minimal. This enhances sail efficiency and performance while ensuring a secure and precise fit.

User-Friendly Loading and Removal

One of the standout features of the Ballslide™ system is its user-friendly nature. The cars can be easily loaded and removed from the luff groove, making sail handling straightforward and stress-free. For larger boats utilizing the Series 8 system, an optional quick-release ball joint is available for batten receptacles. This facilitates initial setup and removal of larger mainsails, offering an extra level of convenience and flexibility.

Revolutionizing Mainsail Handling

For sailors seeking a fast, efficient, and reliable way to manage their mainsail, Ronstan’s Ballslide™ Batten Systems stand out as the ultimate choice. Designed with precision and ease of use in mind, this system ensures that every hoist and drop is smooth, effortless, and dependable—no matter the conditions.
