Did you mean jib foresail?
Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. The first head-sail forward of the foremast on a fore-and-aft vessel, which sets on the forestay.
Examples
“These were more numerous than the crew of sailors which navigated the ship, for the largest vessels of the time were not of more than two to three hundred tons, and as oars were not used in the rough seas of the Channel and there was only one mast with a single square sail, and perhaps a jib-foresail, the necessary hands for sailing her were few.”
