The walls are movable toward each other when the enclosure is deflated. A porous conduit is within the enclosure between the walls and is communicable with the exterior of the enclosure so that inflation medium can be removed from the enclosure through the conduit. The opposed walls are joined together at a plurality of regions to form a plurality of spaced batten pockets which extend from the leech of the sail across the roach.
