Default Please help settle an argument

Let's pretend that you knew what you were doing. How would you use your
sails to turn a normal fractional-rig sloop aft to wind while on a mooring?
I can visualize a possibility with something with a mizzen-sail, but I can't
see it on a sloop and particularly not with a spinnaker.

Sure they could, if you knew what you were doing.
