Correct. The lashing goes through an eyelet just below the batten. Even the diagonal batten seems to stay against the mast, although it has not had big loads yet so may need a simple fitting to keep it in place.

Good work, Rob!
That sounds to me like a very simple and quite efficient way of attaching the sail to the mast.
But if you have a square-top sail, i suppose you will need battens as well. How do you attach them?
As they will be pressing forward onto the mast, I suppose they would tend to slip past the mast on the side if held with the same lashing.
