ABSTRACT:
A system for gathering cloth, intended for but not limited to sails. A web of vein lines (11) are connected a piece of flexible material in strategic positions depending on the size and cut of the cloth. These vein lines (11) are then lead through the belly button device (18) and joined to the stem line (12). The stem line can be lead to a position where a person will pull it in whenever they want the cloth to be gathered. To gather the cloth the person will pull on the stem line (12) which will pull the vein lines (11) through the belly button device (18) which in turn will pull the cloth connected to the ends of the vein lines (11) towards the belly button device (18). This collects the cloth into a smaller, central location and assists the individual in gathering the material.
