I've never heard of a "gallant," just a "top gallant" (usually "t'gallant," sometimes "gans'l"). I've sailed on ships with split t'gallants, though. I did sail on one ship with a skys'l, never a moonraker; I suspect those are both terms for "a sail above the royal".

Username checks out!

I've never sailed on so much as a sloop. 😢 I've been eyeing $800 Hobie Cats on Craigslist, but I'd have nowhere to put it even if I bought one.

Other people's boats are always the best to sail on ;)

The only trouble with that is I want to be in charge.
