Yes, I did mean schooner, but I have never seen one with equal sized mast, and was wondering if there was a proper name for this particular setup. Yes, schooner. Schooner rigs cover a lot of ground. For instance, Herreshoff's Marco Polo, was a very popular schooner design in the post war period and you may still see a few around. They were designed with three masts with the center mast taller than the fore and aft mast. There are a bewildering array of different schooner rigs and they may be like Justice Stewart's definition of pornography: "you know them when you see them." Schooners must have at least two masts and must have fore and aft sails rigged on each mast, other than that, well... -- Tom. |
