Riding sails are for pointing into the wind at anchor, steadying sails are to lessen roll while underway.


Most trawler masts and booms are for multi purpose but because of their location are best suited for steadying sails....and then most are not really large or tall enough.



However a small sail flown in the aft part of the boom if long enough may provide reasonable riding assistance.
