Sailbag
The Sailbag
Description: One of many sailbags onboard the
vessel but the only one salvaged. This bag was likely to be placed
onboard the vessel when built. It contained the "running
sail" or
spinnaker.
The
sailbag is the only surviving bag from Gipsy Moth. It is large enough
for two persons to get into and would carry the foresail.
