Hi all,
I wonder if someone can help me, I'm after a couple of the black plastic bits that hold the batten in position (camber side) on Neil Pryde sails... happy to pay for them


The bloody things keep breaking off!!!
Thanks, Marty

NP Racing EVO 6 sails had this problem

Yes and late model EVO 5 as well. My EVO 5's turned up when the EVO 6 was out and several of these broke (on different sails) while using. I ordered new ones from Sunshine Coast Sailboards and replaced. Never gave a problem afterwards. Dodgy batch maybe.

Anyway you should be able to order some from any NP dealer. They should have in stock. Also do you have spare camber strings, new stainless rivets and the tool for changing them. Pending wear on it all you might need more parts.

Silly question so please don't be offended

have you checked pocket behind the zipped end of your sail bag? There's normally a zip bag with a fist full of spares in there.

The grey ones are stronger than the black ones .

Yeah I've got plenty camber strings rivets and other bits and pieces that I've collected through many years. Thanks mate
