ABSTRACT:
A double-groove headstay for sailboats, the grooves adapted to receive and retain jib boltropes so that a second jibsail can be hoisted while the first is still set. The second sail can be set and the first sail taken down, thus permitting continued drive while changing sails. The stays can be in lieu of conventional stays or provided with holes and clipped or threaded onto existing forestays.
