Foresail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A foresail refers to one of several types of sail set on the foremost mast (foremast) of a sailing vessel:
- Any triangular sail set forward of the foremast, such as a jib.
- A square fore and aft sail set on the foremast, but behind it, on a schooner or other similar vessel.
- The lowest square-sail on the foremast of a full rigged ship or other vessel which is square-rigged on the foremast (such as a brigantine or barquentine).
