If they have hanks they aren't staysails, they're jibs that go on the forestay.
The thinking back then was to have short hoist foresails for higher winds, it was supposed to keep the centre of effort lower in the rig making the boat more stable. Headsails with a cunningham and sails that were reefable were also popular back then, my 25 had them too.

The boat DID come with 2 "short" sails. One a reefable blade and the other I assumed was a 135. It also had a second tack cringle that I used to take the "baggies" out of the luff. So, I would raise those sails without a stay to hank it onto? They both have hanks. And thanks for solving my mystery! Charles Ferari Destrier _____
