Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007058870A2] The invention relates to method and apparatus for compactly stacking a sail having a tack, clew and head, said sail being mounted to batten or sail cars above a boom when a very tall sail is stowed, furled or fully lowered. More specifically, most of the cars are compacted or stacked by diverting cars onto several lower tracks, such that the height of the stacked cars is approximately halved. Cars adjacent the boom and tack of the sail being slidably mounted on at least two of said lower tracks, and carrying said sail between said at least two of said lower tracks. If more than two lower storage tracks are used, the height reduction of the stacked cars can be greater.
