I know that marszeil = topsail.
But unfortunately I do not know how to translate \"voormarszeil\".

I found!
voormarszeil = foretop, fore topsail.
Now I have to explain my translation.
It is very simple. In my native language (Russian) all these sails are named in Dutch (transliterated in Russian).
These terms have been introduced into Russian language by Peter the Great who learned them in Holland.
I am glad that I could help you. Good luck!
