ABSTRACT:
A sectional sail for boats includes a plurality of sections parallel to one side of the sail, each section being provided with tensioning ropes or luff- and leech-ropes and devices for tensioning and tightening the sail. Stiffening battens are provided for maintaining a constant distance between the edges for entry and exit of the wind between the sections. Connectors are included for securing the ends of the sections, as are connectors for connecting the edges thereof. The ends of the sections are substantially aligned and axially successive. The sail, which is practical, simple, and safe, enables one to exploit the thrust of the wind to the maximum extent possible.
