Quick and dirty... "Staysail" is probably a "tallboy". Appropriately tall and skinny set under chute. Need mid deck attachment point. We (in the 70's) could never quite see the point. Raised and lowered it and compared speeds for a given point of sail. For yucks I would set it. Easy up...easy down.
Blooper. Sail set to leeward. Tack is set outside pulpit. Sheet to quarter. Trimmed mostly with halyard. Foot almost parallel to water. Lots o' strings. Opinions are all over the board if they make a speed difference. Much of itspurpose was to counterbalance the IOR tendency to round up under press of chute. Not so easy up and not so easy down. Set them if you have run room to make mistakes. Lot O' strings equal lots of potential problems. Bottom line...you need a good (70's vintage?) crew for the add'l bedsheets. David F.

I will be racing next weekend and think I might try to pull a surprise "out of the bag". Anyone have some knowledge on how to set these beauties?
