Abstract: A tapered sail batten comprises two external generally flat sheets, and an interposed corrugated core sheet, formed of a fiber reinforced synthetic plastic material. The depth of the corrugations in the core sheet increases progressively from end to end of the sheet, and the two external sheets are bonded to the peaks of the corrugations. The batten is elongated and the corrugations are transverse to the length of the batten.
