Did I interpret that correctly? If so:
The spanker is a large gaff-rigged sail at the rear of a ship, usually mounted
on the back side of an otherwise square rigged mast. It is sometimes refered
to as the driver.
6289 Redbeard Runner has a spanker (kinda set high, but all the sails are set
high on that beast).
