The Gale Sail eliminates the dangerous job of unfurling, dropping and stowing the roller furled genoa in storm conditions to hoist a conventional storm jib. Since it is hoisted over the furled genoa, it provides many additional benefits over a conventional hank on or luff tape Storm Jib.

Hoisting over the roller furled sail results in great aerodynamic shape, much better than a conventional storm jib hanked onto a removable headstay or a partially furled sail, (which most of the time has not been designed or built for that purpose). It requires less halyard tension than a conventional storm jib since its luff pouch is supported by the wide forward part of the roller furled sail.

Hoisting The Gale Sail is simple because the luff sleeve is fitted with oversized piston hanks and webbed grommets. The Gale Sail slides up and down amazingly well because Dacron slides over itself very well. The next time you walk over a folded sail on deck, take notice of how slippery it is. The Gale Sail is not a new, untested product. It has been sold in Europe for many years.
