I found this pic informative:
It’s also interesting how they were naming things after James Bond movies all the way back in the Age of Sail!

I’ve never heard of a “gallant,” just a “top gallant” (usually “t’gallant,” sometimes “gans’l”). I’ve sailed on ships with split t’gallants, though. I did sail on one ship with a skys’l, never a moonraker; I suspect those are both terms for “a sail above the royal”.

Username checks out!
I’ve never sailed on so much as a sloop. 😢 I’ve been eyeing $800 Hobie Cats on Craigslist, but I’d have nowhere to put it even if I bought one.
