Yes, I did mean schooner, but I have never seen one with equal sized

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...

Oh, sure -- but can this boat carry a Fisherman and a Gollywobbler? (ha!
Gotta love those schooner sail names!)- Hide quoted text -
