A heavily reefed headsail does not work well as a storm jib. The Gale Sail is storm-sail size and is hoisted with its luff pouch surrounding the roller-furled jib. Provides a good but small airfoil while making sure the rolled headsail cannot be blown open.

By replacing luff tape on a headsail luff and slugs on a mainsail luff, Kiwi Slides provide 50% less friction when hoisting or lowering the sail. Makes sail changes easier and safer. A related product, the Reef Rite Downloader, permits lowering the headsail on its luff groove while keeping the sail captive.
