Yeah, what the heck's the name for that configuration.

You then can hang a large upside down triangular sail off the main mast...can't remember the name of that either. Seen it in design in ketches and schooners...what the heck is the name of that rig?
It might take some rigging changes but mebbe not depending on how far you went with it.

- Humm , Staysail Ketch
- Why not add a furler for the main?
- Interesting idea Todd. Sort of a mizzen staysail, but with perhaps better windward performance.
- So what's the problem with using the main?
- Ever seen a fisherman on a schooner?
- You would have a staysail ketch
