Abstract of the Disclosure A sail feeder for mounting on a mast formed with a sail receiv- ing slot, said slot having an enlarged entrance for receiving the bolt rope of a mainsail, includes a rigid plate having a pair of legs projecting out from the plate at laterally-spaced locations thereon. The legs are oriented at the same acute angle relative to the plate and they are toed toward one another so that their free ends are spaced apart a distance less than the spacing between their ends attached to the plate. The sail feeder is arranged to be secured to the mast at a location directly below the slot entrance. When raising the sail, the end of the bolt rope at the head of the sail is passed through the sail feeder and thence into the slot via its entrance. As the sail is raised by the main halyard, the bolt rope is drawn through the sail feeder which aligns the rope with the slot entrance so that hoisting of the sail can proceed without any need of manually aligning the bolt rope with the slot entrance or the feeder.
