Interesting idea Todd. Sort of a mizzen staysail, but with perhaps better windward performance. 
In Response To: Comments please on a possible boat modification.. ()
We sometimes sail our yawl with the mizzen staysail raised and no main. Mostly for a little more drive off the wind if we don't want to deal with the main. But that's strictly off the wind with the rope luff. You could get a more windward angle with the stay and jib.

- Yeah, what the heck's the name for that configuration.
- Humm , Staysail Ketch
- Why not add a furler for the main?

- So what's the problem with using the main?
- Ever seen a fisherman on a schooner?
- You would have a staysail ketch
