A bentinck sail is a triangular shaped main course with a single clew at the foot of the sail. The sheet is made down to the centreline of the vessel.
Occasionally the sail would have a short foot spread with a short boom called a Bentinck boom but still with a single sheet.
The the sail gave advantages in heavy weather, obviating the need to raise tacks and sheets when going about and enabling a good view of most of the vessel from aft when manoeuvring. NG
