	Schooner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schooners carrying square sails are called square-topsail schooners.
		Modern schooners may be Marconi or Bermuda rigged.
		Some schooner yachts are Bermudan rigged on the mainmast and gaff-rigged on the foremast.

		The typical sailing rig for a dinghy is that of a gunter with a two-piece folding mast stepped through a thwart and rested on the keel.
		It is raised by pulling a rope and a single-sailed gaff rig is preferred over a marconi with a triangular mainsail and jib because a gaff rig has a lower center of force and a simpler rig.
		The bottom of the main sail is usually untended (no boom) in order to avoid hitting the passengers with a spar.

		Rig, in which the mainsail is the shape of a right triangle and attached to the boom at its bottom and the mast at its front.

	Latitude 38 Letters - December 1998
		Furthermore, Howard-Williams, working from that data, concluded that the crab claw sail had an advantage of 25% reaching over a low tech marconi rig of the same size, but that the marconi sail had an advantage close-hauled and to a lesser extent downwind.
		Hence, Lee Helm was quite correct to say that a high tech boat, able to take the high tensions needed to make optimal use of high tech sails, possibly could outsail a boat with a crab claw sail on almost every point - especially close-hauled.
		Mine is number four of five hulls built in the early '60s in the Bay Area.

		You will note that the 22' canoe sterned sloop on the Brokerage page has been sold.
		I fear we have very little information on this little sloop rigged canoe yawl but she looks very pretty.
