Dear Ltemes,
I some practical experience in the field as I was involved in regattas for some years (results were not always \'brilliant\', but this is another story).
I couldn\'t find the term \"respeto\" in the reference you quoted (Real Federación Española de Vela de VELA DICCIONARIO DE T ÉRMINOS NÁUTICOS ESPAÑOL - FRANCÉS - INGLÉS).
Additionally, I object to the use of the word \"storm jib\" (tormentina) because, as you wrote, it is a \"Vela equivalente al Foque pero de menor superficie que se emplea en condiciones muy duras de viento\". On the contrary, a \"vela de respeto\" is simply a sail you can use whenever the original sail becomes unusable for whatever reason.
Furthermore, I object to the use of the word \"jib\", because this is a specific type of sail, and \"vela\" is a generic term for any kind of sail (jib, mainsail, spinnaker, blooper etc.)

Valente- the reference for storm jib is under the word Tormentín. That is how they translate in the dictionary, and it\'s not something that I invented. It\'s in there. Now, it\'s up to our dear Asker to decide and, in the process, we will all have learned something new. my best wishes and thanks for the hearty discussion.
