Watersail defined:
In the blog about ketches and schooners I mentioned that the
boats could be fitted with a water sail. That resulted in a question what is a
watersail.
A watersail is one of several types of spritsails. It is a low studding sail or a sail under the
bowsprit of a schooner or clipper ship or sailboat that has a long bowsprit. They
are called watersails because they are near the water and have a tendency to
get wet.
