ABSTRACT:
A sail magazine and rigging device for automatically rigging and stowing a stay sail, comprising a elongated flat member having a spear-shaped blade section for catching and opening sail hanks and removing them from the stay. When used on a properly configured vessel, the sail magazine allows the prerigging and interchangeable use of two stay sails without the assistance of additional crew members. The sail magazine includes a sail storage section providing for the retention of sails on the magazine and allowing the use of multiple magazines to facilitate quick exchange of sails and orderly stowing of unused sails.
