ABSTRACT:
A sailboat with roller furling has a first foresail rolled about a forestay by suitable rotatable gearing. A second foresail includes a flap secured along one side of the second foresail adjacent its luff and which flap extends about the furled first foresail for releasable securement to a strip sewn along the opposite side of the second foresail. In this manner, a second foresail can be deployed while the first foresail remains roller furled.
