Default Another Ketch Sail

Ah Yes,

I see the Picture now and it does have a name BUT I can't remember it
right now. Old age.

It is a commonly used sail to increase sail aloft. Used both on Ketchs
and Schooner rigs

Sir Chichister used it on his boat ( That name slipped my mind also)
Don't take this name to the Bank but it's something like; "Upper
Staysail" Chichester didn't use a Fore Sail but elected to go with
Staysails. Upper & lower. It was easier on single handing..
