Anyone have Super Sunfish OEM halyard and battens for measurement?

[M. B. Wallace]

I know there have been previous messages regarding these two items, unfortunately without definitive answers.

The halyard I have is all rope and lacks a ball stop to utilize the halyard lock at the top of the mast. While I can do a bunch of experimentation and back into how far a ball stop should be from the bottom of the shackle, if someone has the OEM part, it would be nice to know what it looks like and to record its dimensions for posterity.

As well, I have some battens for my Super Sunfish sail that seem a little short and my guess is what I have are replacements. The bottom is 1" wide by 27" long, middle is 5/8" wide by 30" long, and top is 1" wide by 17" long. However, if I insert each of these battens into their respective pockets - all the way in to inboard end (which seems to be reinforced with a loop of material - there is over 2-1/2" of unsupported space between the end of the batten and the leech of the sail. But there is also not reinforcement on the back on the outboard end of the batten pocket. Again, having an idea of what the OEM battens were (length, width, thickness) would be nice to know and great to document for posterity.

Hope someone has some old parts.

Regards,

Full mast length is 19’-6”. Mast pocket is +/- 10” deep, so 18’-8” exposed. I doubled that and added 2’, for a 40’ halyard. Line thickness should be 3/16”.
You can go shorter but that's a rough guideline. Also attached a pic of the halyard clip at the top with a tape measure for scale.
Haven’t gotten the sails out yet to check the battens, will try to do that in the next week or so and take measurements.
Any other Q’s let me know

It’s raining again, so I pulled them out today.

On my SS sail (labeled as 6.3w), the three batten lengths are (top to bottom):
19.5”
34.0”
30.5”

battens are 5/8” wide.

I also have a Neil Pryde sail, labeled as 4.5w, with different battens. See pic for lengths.
