ABSTRACT:
A sail fastening apparatus (18) for a yacht. The apparatus (18) comprises a first track (21) extending along a sail clew (12) in a direction generally normal to a preferred vertical sheeting angle of the sail, a first carriage (22) slidably mounted for movement along the first track (21), and a sheet (16) extending between the first carriage and a sheeting point (27) on the yacht aft of the clew. The first carriage tends automatically to adopt a stable equilibrium position on the track such that the preferred vertical sheeting angle (B) for the sail is maintained.
