Rolling reef system for the mainsail (4) of a sailing vessel, the said mainsail having an after leech, and under leech (7) secured to the boom (3) and a fore leech (6) connected to the mast (2), wherein said boom can be mounted on the mast in such a manner that it is both rotatable along its longitudinal axis and can be swivelled about the mast. The mainsail is provided with one or more battens (11, 12) extending practically parallel to the under leech (7) from the after leech up to the fore leech (6). At the tip of the boom (3) that is adjacent to the mast, the boom is provided with a disc (9) extending coaxially to the boom and having a significant larger diameter than the boom itself. The fore leech of the mainsail comprises a rope (13) having a relatively small guiding profile, said rope can be slidably accomodated by and retained in a guiding profile (14) secured to the mast, the said profile extending over practically the entire height of the mainsail.

L'invention concerne un système qui permet de prendre des ris dans la grand-voile (4) d'un voilier, ladite grand-voile présentant une chute, un bas de chute (7) fixé sur la bôme (3) et une chute côté mât (6) reliée au mât (2). La bôme peut être montée sur le mât de façon à pouvoir tourner sur son axe longitudinal et pivoter autour du mât. La grand-voile comporte une ou plusieurs lattes (11, 12) disposées pratiquement parallèles au bas de chute (7) depuis la chute jusqu'à la chute côté mât (6). Au niveau de sa pointe adjacente au mât, la bôme (3) comporte un disque (9) s'étendant coaxialement à elle et ayant un diamètre significativement plus grand que le sien. La chute côté mât de la grand-voile comporte une ralingue (13) ayant un profil de guidage relativement petit, qui peut être enfoncée coulissante dans et retenue par un profil de guidage (14) fixé sur le mât et s'étendant sur pratiquement toute la hauteur de la grand-voile.
