Thick end to the leech. The leech end needs to be stiff to support the sail, whereas the luff end needs to be soft so that it blends in to the body of the sail without creating a crease.

You're right about the battens though. Thin end in, thick end at the leech.

I wonder where this reply will end up

Thankyou gentlemen. It seems obvious when it's pointed out.
