A device is disclosed for attaching a sail to the mast of a sailing vessel, which will allow the sail luff to move laterally and forwardly of the stern side of the mast for improved air flow past the mast and sail. The device includes a follower for mounting on a vertical guide of a standard mast and provides in mast-mounted position a substantially horizontal track having a mid-portion at the stern side of the mast. The track is formed for reciprocation of a luff-attaching shackle between its opposite ends. The track opposite ends are positioned forwardly of the mid-portion and laterally of the mast in mast-mounted position.
