ABSTRACT:
A sailing craft having a mast mounted therein is provided with a track on the mast for supporting the vertical edge of a sail. To support the upper portion of the sail, an L-shaped gaff is provided having two legs, one leg being substantially parallel to the mast and contained against the mast by track slides or bolt ropes, while the other leg extends at an angle to the mast and supports the upper edge of the sail. The gaff is supported in an elevated position by a halyard that extends through a block at the upper tip of the mast, and a traveler is provided to change the position of the halyard along the gaff on the leg portion that extends away from the mast.
