Looks like the one on Bart's pic is hanked onto the forestay tho, so I guess we'd just call that one a forestaysail. So please tell me what name you would apply to that skimpy mizzen staysail? Waiting on the edge of my chair, MikeMike, I can't for the life of me remember the name of this type of staysail (short hoist, long foot). I tried to look it up but couldn't find it anywhere. I'll keep looking. Bart Don't wear yourself out too much, Amigo, I suspect that sail was a special order from a guy who liked to see where he was going and not needing to post a crewmember on permanent lookout duty. Let's just call it a highcut mizzen staysail. I never have seen one like it before. Thanks for stirring up some good action with your post!

![]() I've seen pictures of my boat with the same sail take back when the boat was first produced in the early 70's. I was hoping someone else would know the answer and refresh my memory. If I can track dwon Bruce King in Maine, perhaps I can ask him the reason for the design of this sail.
