piratepete007 Posted March 24, 2019 #1 Posted March 24, 2019 Would really appreciate some assistance in naming the sail in the diagram partly shaded blue and partly hidden behind the main course sail on an English schooner of 1787 (Euromodel - Lyde). Pete
grsjax Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Posted March 24, 2019 I assume that is the main sail so it would be a ringtail sail. A ringtail is a studding sail for a for and aft sail. mtaylor and russ 2 My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
piratepete007 Posted March 24, 2019 Author #3 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks so much grsjax and as a result I have now located that in one of my texts. Carrying on from your comment - and looking back at my diagram - the upper spar (coloured yellow) supporting this ringtail sail would be called the 'ringtail boom/ or gaff/ or yard' ? Pete Edited March 25, 2019 by piratepete007 expanded spar terminology russ and mtaylor 2
popeye2sea Posted March 25, 2019 #4 Posted March 25, 2019 Ringtail boom in green at the bottom of the sail. Ringtail yard in yellow at the top. Regards russ, grsjax and mtaylor 3 Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci
piratepete007 Posted March 25, 2019 Author #5 Posted March 25, 2019 What would I do without you guys ? Thanks grsjax and Henry so much for tidying up those pieces of terminology. Pete mtaylor 1
