Looks like a form of barber-hauler. Never seen it done like that though.

Small self tacking jib, maybe?

 

[jimi]

I thought it was a self tacker

Looks like an inboard sheeting position for non-overlapping Jibs - actually a very good idea given the location of the main genoa tracks as it enables much closer sheeting angles.

However in this case the lazy sheet seems to be under tension and the car is too far forwards (or the sail is too big) which means the sail shape is pretty hopeless

 

[bedouin]

A conventional self-tacking jib would only have a single sheet surely

Self-tacking staysail? Jib sheet going outside.

 

[KREW2]

The rope/sheet running over the stanchon post is also outside the shrouds. It doesn't look as it would be able to serve any purpose under tension.

 

[bedouin]

That looks like the genoa sheet

[fluffc]

That'll be the spinnaker sheet then??

Twin headsails. You can see the self tacking jib (which looks to big for the job) on an inner forestay with sheets leading forward to a furled genoa.

Makes sense but heres another shot http://newimages.yachtworld.com/1/6/8/6/3/1686387_4.jpg?1174405465000
I don't see an inner forstay

 

[l'escargot]

See what you mean. Could it be 2 sets of sheet cars depending on how much sail you have out, coach roof mounted for working jib or smaller and side deck mounted for genoa?

Clew too close to the centreline of the boat. Acting more like a air-brake than a sail.

 

[Twister_Ken]

No, it looks like something made by a Belgian lavatory fittings manufacturer.

Naval Knitting. Have you never had a sheet caught up on something?? I have.

Yes! but I think I would sort it before I took a picture of it. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
My main query was why, what appears to be the working sheet is not under tension?
