For the kite sail manufacturer, see SkySails.

A skysail is the uppermost sail in many old square-rigged sail-plans (though sometimes topped by a moonsail). It was also on the royal mast above the royal sail. It was typically used in light winds.[1]

  • The highest sail is moonraker, lower skysail and royal sail.
