I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

OK, Oz, I looked again, and if I were to modify my answer I'd say it's
a high-cut mizzen staysail, one that allows the helmsman to see where
he's going, unlike most mizzen staysails. What name are you so
reticent to divulge that would describe it better? Bart? I would be
surprised to hear a different name used in common parliance. The
skipper would have to educate his crew and label the bag in large
lettering if so. Do you think this boat carries a differently cut
mizzen staysail as well?
Curious,
Mike

Perhaps Oz thinks it's a mizzen staysail of yankee cut? A mizzerable
yankstaysail?
