them, but unfortunately not digitized. 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.

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.
