Quantum Expert Answer
It sounds like when you tack or gybe the top batten doesn't "pop" onto the other tack. Some times this happens when going downwind and the vang is too loose. The wind in Colorado can be super light or super windy. It's hard to make one batten work in both types of conditions. You may have a good medium to heavy-air batten. If you would like a light-air batten, feel free to contact a nearby Quantum loft for the right batten and help getting this sorted out.
