Hasty stop to get sail (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flying jib

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sail' is the definition.
(flying jib is a kind of sail)

'hasty stop' is the wordplay.
'hasty' becomes 'flying' (I've seen this before).
'stop' becomes 'jib' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'flying'+'jib'='FLYING JIB'

'to get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for flying jib that I've seen is " bit of rigging".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
