(54)	Jib with guy tensioner

(57) A jib is fixed to a vessel by means of a front guy and a rear guy. A tension spring-like element in the rear guy ensures that the rear guy will be taut at all times and that as a result the end of the jib will at all times be pulled to such a position by the rear guy fitted with the tension spring-like element that the front guy will also be taut. Upon lowering of the jib, the front guy and the rear guy will remain taut, in spite of the fact that the points of attachment for the front guy and the rear guy and the jib pivot, by means of which the jib is attached to the mast, are not aligned.
