Gale Sail

The Gale Sail™ is a storm jib that can be hoisted over a roller reefing foresail. Simply lead the foresail sheets down to the deck, secure and hank on the Gale Sail to the re-inforced, hi-visibility sleeve over the furled genoa, attach its sheets and hoist with the spinnaker halyard. Prevents accidental unfurling of the genoa too.

• High visibility luff pouch
• Oversized piston hanks PLUS webbed grommets for easier hoisting
• No need for a removable forestay.
• It eliminates the dangerous job of unfurling, lowering and stowing away the furled genoa to free up the roller furler in windy conditions to hoist the conventional storm jib
• Since it is hoisted over the furled headsail, the Gale Sail prevents any dangerous accidental unfurling.
• No transformations or alterations of the rig are needed. The Gale Sail is ready to be hoisted immediately.
• The Gale sail, since it is hoisted over a roller furled sail, has great aerodynamic shape and much better than a conventional storm jib hanked on a removeable headstay, or a partially furled sail, which, almost certainly, will not have been designed or built for that purpose.
• The Gale Sail slides up and down amazingly well because Dacron slides over itself very well. The next time you walk over a folded sail on deck, note of how slippery it is.

• It can be hoisted with the spinnaker halyard or spare jib halyard.
• It requires less halyard tension than a conventional storm jib would need since its luff (pouch) is supported by the wide forward part of the roller furled sail. By the same token, chafing is not a problem since the Gale Sail is riding on a large area. Chafing is a problem when a lot of pressure is on a small area, not when it is spread over a large surface.
