Gaff rig with long keel. The Mainsail is raised with the topsail halyard. A second halyard controls the gaff.

      another lovely one ;-) I guess that would go also with the fin-keel hull?
      So, the halyard lifts the topsail that then raises the main and there is another one (like a topping lift)for the gaff?
      In that case, would you reef the main before you take in the topsail?
      Advantages? ... better setting and less turbulences for the topsail?
