ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a sail boat having a single main sail having a corner between a taut luff edge and a foot edge. A snatch lock is provided at the corner for securing the corner to the bow of the boat, e.g. to U-bolt. When it is required to change tack, the corner is unhooked from the bolt, passed around the rear of the mast (16) and resecured to the bolt (46), in other words, the sail then lies on the other side of the mast and so the boat can sail away on the opposite tack.
