Hey Irwin,
Your headsail is beautiful. But I notice it is free-flying, and not attached to the headstay with hanks or a racing foil. And I'm assuming you are not using a spinnaker pole. What you have looks like an asymmetrical spinnaker, or gennaker as they are sometimes called. Really nice sail for downwind cruising, esp shorthanded.
I have a big drifter, but it is hanked onto the forestay, and not as versatile downwind as your sail.
