ABSTRACT:
A marine sail having a pocket, or double ply section, at the luff and a plurality of elongated battens which are attached to the sail at the leech and which extend forwardly along the sail and project through openings at the trailing edge of the double ply section so that the forward end portions of the battens are enclosed within the double ply section. The sail is furled into, and bagged within, the double ply section, and lines are provided within the double ply section for progressively pivoting the battens and moving them upwardly along the pocket during furling so that, when furling is completed, all of the battens are disposed in generally upright positions within the bag formed by the double ply section.
