The present invention relates to a device for improving sail twist, intended to be connected to a mast and a batten of a sail. The device comprises an outer tube comprising a circumferential wall and an aperture in the wall. The device further comprises an intermediate tube adapted to be arranged rotationally locked to the mast, comprising a circumferential wall arranged at least partially inside the outer tube. The intermediate tube further has an aperture in the wall comprising a straight portion and at least one angled portion. Furthermore, there is a spring means arranged around at least a part of the intermediate tube, contained at least partially inside the outer tube. The outer tube is adapted to be rotatably arranged around the intermediate tube. The aperture in the intermediate tube is adapted to be connected to a batten extending through the aperture in the outer tube.
