FYI the red ones are studding sails, often called stu’nsails because sailors love leaving off letters (like how “boatswain” is often called “bosun”). Also, jibs are staysails; staysails are any sail that slides up and down a stay, which are the pieces of standing rigging that support the masts from the front and the back.
