Abstract
In the jib sail system disclosed herein, the luff edge of a jib is provided with a bead of relatively small diameter backed up by a rib of relatively large diameter. In operation, the small bead is retained in a grooved headstay member while the larger diameter rib is operated on by a guide, during the introduction of the bead into the supporting groove, but remains outside the groove after passing through the guide.
