turns the bow of the ship to lee
Beam extending laterally over the bow to support anchor manoeuvres
Pair of ropes which support the mast towards the stern. The lee rope can be released and belayed
further forward if necessary
Secure ropework temporarily
Rail in the shrouds, for belaying
Bowsprit, jib boom and all ropework in this area
Strong round-section spar projecting at the bow; supports the jib boom
Watertight transverse partition in the hull; also watertight door
Hull side wall above deck level
Connecting piece between mast, topmast and spreader
Rotating tapered drum for tensioning or slackening ropes and chains
Sealing material placed between individual planking strakes
Fitting on the hull side to which the shrouds are fixed
Rear corner of a sail to which the sheet is attached
Tightening a rope or sheet
Cruciform knot for belaying, fixes the rope securely
Rope designed to distribute forces at several points
Wooden block with three holes, for tensioning ropework
Round-section spar for spreading the jib boom stays
Loop of rope under booms or yards on which crew members stand when working on the boom or
yard
Rope at the bottom corner of the sail which is used to control the tension of the sail's front edge
Swivel connection between mast and gaff
Round-section spar which supports the top edge of the sail
Lateral bracing rope on the jib boom
Change of course in which the boat's stern turns through the wind
Rope for pulling up sails etc.
Rail on superstructure and bulwark providing hand-support for crew members
Metal ring in bulwark for chains and ropes to pass through with minimum friction
Top corner of a triangular sail
Braking manoeuvre in which the ship is turned into wind, in order to exploit the braking effect of the
shivering sails
Angle of the boat caused by wind pressure
Rigid fork-shaped connection between mast and gaff or boom
Round spar on the bowsprit to which the foresails are attached
Special angled joint between king strakes and deck planking
Central strake in deck planking to which all other planks are fitted
Rope for attaching the sails e.g. to gaff and boom
Short piece of rope
Ropework between topping lift and boom; convenient means of furling or reefing gaff sails
The boat tends to turn its bow away from the wind when the rudder is neutral, with the result that
the sail area facing the wind increases. Remedy: the effect of the foresails must be reduced
The side away from the wind. The sails always face the lee when the ship is sailing
Loop at the end of a rope
Tallest mast on a sailing ship
Support attached to the mast for ropework or spreader
Part of mast at which the cross-section changes from round to rectangular
