• Comments please on a possible boat modification..
  • Yeah, what the heck's the name for that configuration.
    • Wishbone ketch
  • Humm , Staysail Ketch
    • That's what I was thinking. But mizzen staysails can have a good sized overlap.
      • If not using main already, a boomed staysail on the mizzen would be more help, though.
  • 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?
    • There are reasons not to use the main that I can't go into here
      • Velly intelesting!!!!
  • Ever seen a fisherman on a schooner?
  • You would have a staysail ketch
