Sail plan
Also called: Plan de voilure, voilure, garde-robe, voiles, sails, sail inventory
All the sails of a boat and how they are arranged.
An offshore racing boat carries an inventory of sails for every wind strength and point of sail: mainsail, several jibs, a staysail, downwind sails. Classes often limit the number, which forces choices: each sail must cover the widest possible range.
