Typical Staysail

From musings
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A typical staysail (which includes our jib and staysail) will have the following controls:

  • Furling
  • Windward / leeward sheets
  • Halyard

We'll note here that the ASV Angelina will have a fixed halyard since dousing of the staysails would require hands on deck which, by definition, an autonomous sailing vessel shall not have.
