ABSTRACT:
A sailing rig for use on a sailboat comprising a sail formed in the shape of two approximately ellipsoidal portions with a free-standing mast being rotatable on its vertical axis, the mast being curved near its top from the vertical axis of rotation of the mast so that the sail, when the sailboat is close-hauled, folds around the mast and when the sailboat runs before the wind, the sail unfolds and opens to fly free of the mast.
