Re: Freedom 44 with staysails
I'm very proud of this photo of Alabama Queen during the latest 200 mile solo race. The staysail is borrowed from F44 Airborne's owner Gio.
On this photo I'm using my own off-the-shelf (mizzen) gennaker. It's much larger than the classic staysail, but too full for beam reaches or higher courses.
