Between the main and mizzen mast?

It's a mizzen staysail, Joe. Had one on our previous boat, a ketch. For
what it's worth, the yawl was a rig concept in which the mizzen had
virtually no value beyond the ability to carry a mizzen staysail, generally
the huge balloony ones, almost like an asymmetrical spinnaker. A yawl's
mizzen was too small to be of much value beyond balancing the helm a little.
