@tomterahedrob The biplane rig doubles the sail area and thus doubles the thrust while keeping the heeling forces low. There may also be some benefit from slot effect as is usually seen between a mainsail and a jib. A possible disadvantage might be that the windward sail could blanket the leeward sail on a beam reach.

Maiden voyage. Cut us some slack on seamanship...everything was new. So many people not needed to launch(its lighter that that)but everyone wanted in on it!
