What are the names of the five sails on this aluminum yawl.

Spinaker, staysail, mainsail, mizzen staysail, mizzen.

Close...but not quite...If the mizzen had a forestay you couldn't tack
the boat.

You could make the same argument about the backstay on some sloops.
That doesn't mean it's not there, just that you have to dick around with
it to tack or gybe.

Anyway, "Mizzen staysail" was an educated guess. Maybe I need more
education.
