| A full array of triangular jibs and staysails might be included before or between the masts. |
|
| The sheets for all of the staysails are led to sheetstoppers on the cabin top just forward of the cockpit. |

| Mainsails, genoas, working jibs and staysails, spinnakers, storm jibs, and trisails are all discussed in depth. |

|
| Self-tacking jibs and staysails work well with furling systems and with jib booms. |
|
| In seriously poor weather, only the lower staysails are used. |
