Abstract (en)
A sail assembly comprising a mast (2), spaced apart lateral upper and lower elongated members (6, 7) fixed to the mast, track means (11, 13) joining first ends of the upper and lower members, two panels (5a, 5b) of sail material one to each side of the mast connected to the track means by runners to allow the sail panels to be furled, sail battens (22, 23) mounted in pockets in the two sail panels with the forward ends of the sail battens retained to resist longitudinal compressive forces when applied to the battens to induce a bend therein, battens in the respective sail panels are aligned to provide batten pairs with the rear ends of the battens of each pair where they project from the batten pockets interconnected but relatively movable, and means (24, 25, 26) to apply longitudinal compressive force to the sail battens at a location remote from the forward ends thereof.
