Name that sail

Maybe I need more education. //Walt That's indeed what we call that sail here on the "right side up" part of the world, Walt. The wire inside the luff acts as the "stay", and the sail does have to come down to change tacks. There is also such a thing as a mizzen spinnaker, but that isn't what is shown in the pic. No offence intended, but what the "upside down people" call it is probably some quaint thing like "boofsmoggler" or "deepilboink", maybe Oz will enlighten us? Happy Halloween, Mike Agreed on all points, Mike. Max |
