Good afternoon,

I am confused at how was it possible to hang the spritsail topsail off the jib boom when right under this sail there would be four martingale ropes preventing for this sail to hang there. Looks like we eighter can have a sail there or the four martingale ropes, but not both. Could someone explain?
