The Staysail on the Mizzen Mast is often called a Mizzen Runner.Well done Thom....There are sailors and old sailors...


Well, maybe so, but on my ketch, the mizzen runners are running
backstays, and the staysail forward would be called a spinnaker
staysail, to differentiate it from the forestaysail one might set if
the boat were rigged as a cutter-yawl, or a heavy weather staysail.
KISS is more than a thing you do with your lips, y'all agree?
Cheers,
Mike
