The fixed station (22) comprises a base (41) receiving the bottom element (21) when the sail (1) is brought back by the winch; means for gripping each fold line (16-18) and pulling it against the mast (23), so as to bring the leading edge (7) against the mast (23) to fold the sail after having brought it back near the post with the winch.
