Thanks
Joe

The small stripped sail between the mizzen and main is the mizzen
staysail. It's kind of an assymetric for the mizzen. The tack normally
goes inboard of the main as far windward as possible. The clew sheets to
the end of the mizzen boom. It is only useful between 90 and 135
degrees off the wind. It has to be dropped for each tack or gybe.

In this picture it is hoisted wrong.
