    That is the spinnaker set to starboard with the mainsail to port. The Rainbows used a very flat cut spinnaker set on a 10 foot pole, which was pretty long on a 12 foot boat.

    The flat cut made for a very fast reaching under spinnaker. Could even be carried to windward in very light conditions.

    These boats were an absolute blast to sail.

    Cheers, Cameron.
