Hello. I'm a noob regarding sailing. I'm interested in purchasing a sailboat one of these days. I wanted to join this website to pick your brains if possible.
I have a perplexing question regarding sailboat sails.
I know what the main sail does (mid boat).
I know what a jib or genoa sail does (front of bow).
I know what a Spinnaker sail does (usually attached during sailing downwind).
I'm looking at sailboats, and I have seen some with another sail between the Main and jib/genoa that is on a furler. I'm going to try to attach some pics of what I'm asking about.
What is this third sail? Is it a Spinnaker sail ready to go??? I know Cutters Sailboats usually have three sails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jerry
