Peter,

I've heard of "Saddles" but I've never seen it use. Have You? If you
have Where have you seen it use and on what vessel ?

After the Marconi Rig came into being, designers just added height to
the Mast and used higher narrower sails to reduce weather helm and the
need for larger rudders and weather helm, with the slowing of the boat
with rudder holding course.

No Peter, I can't ever remembering seeing a "Saddle" used but there are
many things I hasn't seen.
