2. Guy (sailing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_(sailing)

   This is called the sheet and serves a slightly different function. When the boat jibes, the spinnaker pole will be moved from one side of the boat to the other, causing the sheet to become the guy and vice versa. A foreguy may also be used to control the height of the spinnaker pole. It is attached either to the end of the pole or to a bridle ...

3. Sheet (sailing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_(sailing)

   The jib has a sheet on each side, only one of which (the leeward one) will be in use at one time. The spinnaker sheet attaches to the clew(s) of the spinnaker, if carried. A symmetrical spinnaker has two sheets, an "active" one and a "lazy" one, in the same way as a jib, but they are attached to the sail's two separate clews.

4. Spinnaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnaker

   Smaller boats tend to use only one line on each clew (a combination guy and sheet). The windward line that runs through the jaw of the spinnaker pole is referred to as the guy (as opposed to foreguy) and the one on the free-flying corner is referred to as the sheet. During a jibe, these roles and thus the names are reversed.

5. Sailing - Wikipedia

   These are often referred to using the name of the sail they control (such as main sheet or jib sheet). Guys are used to control the ends of other spars such as spinnaker poles. Lines used to tie a boat up when alongside are called docklines, docking cables or mooring warps. A rode is what attaches an anchored boat to its anchor. [71]

6. Running rigging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_rigging

   Sheets attach to the clews (bottom corners) of a sail to control the sail's angle to the wind. Sheets run aft (for comparison, see tacks). [2] Tacks are used to haul the clew of a loose-footed square sail (for example, a course) forward when sailing close to the wind. Tacks run forward (for comparison, see sheets).
