The inner headsail is a Forestaysail tacked to the deck, the next is a Jib tacked to the stem or possibly further out, then the Flying Jib is outboard everything tacked to a metal ring that slides out on the sprit. Different designers used various setups. The vee shaped sail between gaff and top mast is called the Topsail

Also, the v shaped sail in the area between the mainsail gaff and the mast; what's it called?

A few years ago, I escorted her through dense fog on her way to Mystic Seaport for the wooden boat show because I had RADAR and she did not. I am not aware of the incident you mention, but we would have to know the details to draw any conclusions about WHY she might have lost the case. A kerosene lantern used as an anchor light is perfectly legal (annex 1 section 11 of international colregs) unless there is something more to the story. I can tell you that seeing all of Elf in the dark, regardless of anchor light, would be a challenge. She is about 35 feet on deck, but the boom hangs far over the stern, and she has a VERY long bowsprit. LOD is about 35 feet, and LOA is... about 70 feet! http://www.cyrg.org/images/graphics/ELFmorph-2.gif _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
