So it appears that my jib battens are missing on my p16 jib. Any idea what they look like or are made of? I’m assuming thin fiberglass would work to replace? -

I lost a couple of jib battens out of my SC15 jib. They were the sewn in style. My sailmaker ordered new stock and replaced them when he repaired the sail.
It looks like you only need 2 small battens. Order some batten stock and caps from Sailrite, or Murray's. Whoever your favorite supplier is and make them.

Slo shows them in this pic but they don't describe them.
