1. A mechanised device for manipulating a ship's sail comprising: a mast,a boom and a gaff each having first fore ends and second opposite aft ends, said boom and gaffe each respectively secured to said mast via said fore ends,a guiding element connecting said aft ends of said boom and of said gaff,
1. A mechanised device for manipulating a ship's sail comprising: a mast,a boom and a gaff each having first fore ends and second opposite aft ends, said boom and gaffe each respectively secured to said mast via said fore ends,a guiding element connecting said aft ends of said boom and of said gaff, so that said guiding element extends parallel or substantially parallel to said mast and defines a frame jointly with said mast, boom and gaff,a sail of rectangular or substantially rectangular shape having a lower foot edge and a first luff side edge and a second leech side edge, said sail secured to said boom via said lower foot edge and provided on said luff and leech side edges with guiding members along said mast and said guiding element, andmechanised means of hoisting and lowering said sail inside said frame, whilst guiding said sail luff and leech side edges along said mast and guiding element,wherein said guiding members allow rotation of said sail around a longitudinal axis X2-X′2 joining together a guiding member along said mast and a guiding member along said guiding element, said longitudinal axis being parallel or substantially parallel to said boom so that said sail, when lowered, is folded in an accordion fold on said boom, wherein the guiding member of said sail leech side edge is a slide, said slide comprising a sleeve sliding along the guiding element and wherein said sleeve or said sail leech side edge is provided with a rotating spindle, said rotating spindle extending over the axis of rotation X2-X′2 and received in an antifriction bearing secured respectively to said sail leech side edge or said sleeve. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the guiding element is a cable. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the sail is composed of several panels, each panel provided along a luff side edge with a guiding member along the mast and along a leech side edge with a guiding member along said guiding element. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mast comprises a longitudinal guide rail, and the guiding member of said sail luff side edge comprises a traveller sliding along said guide rail, said traveller being provided with a rotating spindle, said rotating spindle extends over the axis of rotation X2-X′2 and is received in an antifriction bearing secured to said sail luff side edge. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mast comprises a longitudinal guide rail, and the guiding member of said sail luff side edge comprises a traveller sliding along said guide rail, said traveller being provided with a pin, said pin extends over the axis of rotation X2-X′2 and includes an end with a ball joint received in a multi-directional hinge bearing secured to said sail luff side edge. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the sail comprises several panels, each panel being hinged on the adjacent panel around a hinge axis X1-X′1, parallel or substantially parallel to the boom. 7. The device according to claim 6, wherein each panel is hinged on the adjacent panel via a portion of flexible material, a hinge or a strap. 8. The device according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the panels is provided with a longitudinal batten which extends over the axis of rotation X2-X′2 of said panel. 9. The device according to claim 3, wherein each panel is removably attached to the others so that it can be separated from the others, dismounted and replaced. 10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the sail includes fore and aft halyard points and the mechanised means of hoisting and lowering the sail comprise means for tensioning the luff and the leech of the sail in synchronized manner, so that at any time during the phases of hoisting and lowering the sail, the fore and aft halyard points of the said sail are at the same height. 11. The device according to claim 1, wherein the sail is made of fabric, of composite material or of metal. 12. A cargo or passenger ship equipped with a mechanised device for manipulating a sail according to claim 1. 13. The device according to claim 1, wherein the sail comprises rigidifying battens extending along said longitudinal axis X2-X′2.
