Looks pretty good to us. The first correct "who, what and where" gets a Sharon Green Ultimate Sailing calendar from our friends at Ultimate Sailing. Have at it!

Dont think its Loki. You can kind of make out the name in the nonskid but I cant figure it out.

my question is why the jib battens aren't perpendicular to the leech. They look more perpendicular to the luff, which makes no sense. Moreover, they can't be furled with that set up.

I was thinking that too. Although I dont think this sail was built with rolling in mind.

Looking at that graphic I think NavySailing has it.

yeah, they're not furling that thing... Im sure there's a reason for it and its the first jib i recall seeing the battens at a slight vertical angle. I guess it helps distribute the load in some way? They look like they're perpendicular to the luff.
