ABSTRACT:
A storm sail for sailboats which replaces a larger bow sail. The storm sail has a smaller area than the replaced bow sail, has a luff forming a rectangular rigging band, which having a width compatible with the replaced bow sail ends in a free edge and has fastening reciprocal means between the free edge and the luff. The storm sail allows the fast and safe replacement of the bow sail and is used when strong winds require a smaller fore sail. When the intensity of the wind increases excessively, the replaceable bow sail is coiled around its own stay and the storm sail is made available, fastening it by its band over the coiled bow sail. When the emergency is over, the storm sail is untied and the bow sail is freed.
