Not sure about the rails; can you post a photo?
Could the rigging on the mizzen be running backstays for use with staysails? Most people only have one, taken to whichever quarter is appropriate when needed. The tackle (three part on ours) is to tension it, probably unnecessarily in my opinion.

By the way, where are you based; Spain, perhaps? We spend a lot of time near Valencia.
