Battslide® Series 35-55 systems provide all Battslide's advantages to boats 55'. Sailmakers will appreciate the design detail of the leech loading, fully adjustable batten receptacle for flat or round battens. Slides include a 10mm stud to attach to the receptacle. The system also works with Fredericksen, Antal and Harken track systems. Example installations can be seen here (examples for boats to 55 feet).

Between full-length battens, or for traditional short-battened sails, Schaefer's Battslide Intermediate fitting attaches easily to the sail and provides six way articulation to the connection between mainsail and track slide to reduce friction and ease sail handling. Stud shackles (#460 nylon or #461 stainless) with 10mm studs are used to connnect the sail to the mast slides.

Headboard reefing loads are handled with #844 headboard plates, which use #461 stud shackles to attach to Allslip slides or Battslide System slides.

New! Battslide® Track for boats from 30'-45' can serve as an easy replacement of existing or damaged sail track. It works equally well with Battslide and Allslip slides.

Battslide new Mainsail Track System for boats from 30 – 45 ft. approx. accepts 7/8” flat slides.  This is a simple way to replace worn or damaged sail track without re-engineering the sail. Key features of the new Battslide track are:

• “C” shape track protects internal sliding surfaces from damage
• Lightweight anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, pre-drilled for #10 FH fasteners on 3” centers
• Fits curved and flat mast contours
• Captive aluminum joints ensure track alignment
• Removable “track gate” for loading sail, usually installed 25” from bottom end to allow a low slide stack.
• Smooth glass reinforced nylon end stops

This system works with standard Battslide slides, part #803, and our intermediate fittings (#886, #888) working in conjunction with our headboard fitting #844.

Allslip 7/8" slides also can be utilized, which work well with our intermediate fittings.
