Why isn't the topsail at the top?

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just a quick WAG: at one point it was the topmost sail, and then someone was like “what if we put another sail on top of that one so we can go seven speed?”

The next sail on top became the Gallant, and so forth, apparently topping out the tech with a Moonraker.
