sail loft

noun, a loft in a boat house for storing sailboats and sailing components

“I had five iceboats, ice yachts, at one time. One of my relatives on Garden Island gave me one of the old, well, it’s called a T-boat … It was up in the sail loft up there. She said, ‘Well when you get it out you can have it and sail it.’ So I got it out, and I sailed it. It was huge, and it had a big basket on it. It was shaped like a ‘T’ and the basket was at the back, on the stern of it. And you could lie down and steer with the tiller over your shoulder.”
