A sailing boat 1 comprises a hull 1a, a mast 2, 3 and boom 20 for supporting a main sail 21, the mast comprising two elements, a lower mast element 3 that is attached to the hull and an upper mast element 2 that is pivotally attached to the lower mast element. The upper and lower mast elements are each provided with a track for engagement therewith by sliders of the main sail. The track 23 of the upper mast element is positioned with respect to the track 23a, 23b of the lower mast element so that upon lowering of the main sail, a slider that is engaged with the track of the upper mast section may transfer its engagement to the track of the lower mast section. The lower mast section is of such a height that when the main sail is fully lowered, all the sliders thereof are engaged with the track of the lower mast section.
