On Oriole, the staysail is good up to about 15 knots apparent with the
wind on the beam or nearly on the beam. It gives us a knot.
That's pretty good... how fast is the boat going by then?
10 or so.
... When running way off the wind I sometime hand the mizzen and sail
with the stays'l, main and a kite. The boat is less squirrelly when
the centre of effort is moved forward. If the wind come up at all the
stays'l comes down.
One of the nice things about the rig, lots of options for balance and
shortening down.
