The number three jib is the smallest of three headsails on a sailboat and it is sometimes called a storm jib, because it is the one most likely used during storm conditions.
If a boat has more than three headsails, the number three sail would be smaller than number two, but may not be the smallest headsail on the boat. For example if a boat has four jibs, say a 170, a 150, a 110 and a storm jib, then the 110 would be considered the number 3 jib and the storm jib would be number 4.
