Tacks to the deck a foot or two aft the stem head, and clew sweeps right down to side deck bisecting the forward main cabin window. The head is hoisted by the toping lift halyard mounted on the mast maybe 4' above the spreaders...

If this is supposed to be a light air sail, what weight sail cloth might be most appropriate these days?
