My boat is a sloop rigged 30' Herreshoff design.
the sail as rigged now in the bag has a couple of
short lines at the tack ( i assume for attachment
to a cleat or such at the bow, and one sheet, also
a 5-6' pennant at the head for attachment to a
halyard. (my mast has a 5' extension). this sail
is cut like a jib but very full in the belly,
cant find reference to this type of sail in my
boat books.. still looking for more help with
this.
