Fischermann staysail
Fischermann staysail (the trapezoidal sail between the mast tops ) on the schooner Amazing Grace
Fischermann staysail (short: Fischermann) (English: fisherman's staysail) is a traditional form of sails on sailing ships for light winds, in which an additional, light staysail is driven between the mast tops of a schooner or a ketch .
The sail was used on fishing boats, among other things, and left space on deck to haul in the net. Today only a few sailing ships still use such sails.
