That looks like an old (1970's era) 150% or so Genoa. In that era, there was a fad to use dyed dacron and alternate panels between colors like a spinnaker. It was quickly learned that dying dacron increased its stretchiness and shortened its lifespan, so dacron sails went back to white shortely afterward.
