There is definately a bottom angled batten. The stripe/seam above the bottom batten is one side of zipper for the reafing system. The other half of the zipper is on the upper battens. The picture is the wrong side of the sail to see the zipper but it does show the fastek buckle for securing the fold in the reef.
