Additional lightweight sails called stunsails were rigged out on each side on long booms...and these gave a huge spread of canvas.

These sails were sometimes regarded as expendable: for example, during the long approach to the Battle of Trafalgar the wind was very light and all the British ships carried stunsails, which at the last moment were simply cut away and allowed to fall into the sea. Their crews were fully occupied manning all the guns, and few hands could be spared to recover the sails.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A. (British, Contemporary)","offers":[{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas - standard","offer_id":55616599851350,"sku":"-32937","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas - standard FRAMED (UK only)","offer_id":55616599884118,"sku":"-32937","price":410.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas - large","offer_id":55616599916886,"sku":"-32937","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas - large FRAMED (UK only)","offer_id":55616599949654,"sku":"-32937","price":590.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/3050\/1206\/files\/Hunt_20-_20Victory_20and_20Squadron_20in_20Light_20Airs_20Canvas_281_29_c28a61db-7cf6-4a77-8901-8435baed5aaa.jpg?v=1791279752","url":"https:\/\/marineartists.co.uk\/products\/32937","provider":"Marine Artists","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
