Walt,
If you look at the picture, you will see that the Sail is set on the Lee side of the Back Stay. With the Runner Set there is no way that the Main Boom can be brought in. I'm sorry if I miss lead you though. A RUNNING SAIL is a sail not set on a stay, used mostly on conditions of working down wind, being broad reaching or dead downwind. It is a Three point, free Flying sail not unlike a Spinnaker. As you can see in the picture, it is set to sail on that Tack. It will have to be lowered to even Jibe. It cannot be used UP WIND because it will interfer with the Main Sail Boom. It's a Running Sail, Set for the Tack that the boat is Sailing, which is Before the Wind. Common called Running http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT |

Both the mainsheet and the mizzensheet appear to be relatively near the centerline, but as you imply it's difficult to tell from a photo. Max |
