A frame device for a profiled sail device. At least one frame element has a first profile contour that corresponds to one sail surface and a second profile contour that corresponds to another sail surface. The frame device has a profile contour with at least one profile contour section which is formed by a profile contour of the frame element, and the frame device can be adjusted between a first operating position and a second operating position. In a first operating position the first profile contour forms a contour section for the first sail surface or for the second sail surface, and the second profile contour does not form a profile contour section; and in the second operating position, the first profile contour does not form a profile contour section of the frame device for the sail surface, and the second profile contour forms at least one profile contour section of the frame device for the respective other sail surface.
