  2. Spinnaker pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnaker_pole

    The spinnaker pole is rigged to run from the base of the mast, [1] where there is a special fitting for attaching one end of the pole, out to windward over the side of the boat. There, one of the control lines of whichever sail it is to be used with is run through a fitting on the other end of the spinnaker pole. This allows for more precise ...

    Guy (red arrow), controlling the spinnaker pole. A guy (probably from Dutch gei, "brail") is a line attached to and intended to control the end of a spar on a sailboat. [1] On a modern sloop-rigged sailboat with a symmetric spinnaker, the spinnaker pole is the spar most commonly controlled by one or more guys.

  4. Navigation light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_light

    Watercraft navigation lights must permit other vessels to determine the type and relative angle of a vessel, and thus decide if there is a danger of collision. In general, sailing vessels are required to carry a green light that shines from dead ahead to 2 points (22 + 1 ⁄ 2 °) abaft [note 1] the beam on the starboard side (the right side from the perspective of someone on board facing ...

    [2] Spinnaker – Some sailboats use a symmetrical spinnaker—a three-sided, parachute-like sail—off the wind. The windward lower corner of a spinnaker is attached to a horizontal pole, coming from the mast to the lower corner of the sail—controlled by a line, called a guy—and the other lower corner is attached to a line that acts as a ...

  7. Asymmetrical spinnaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_spinnaker

    When attached to a long bowsprit or "prod", an asymmetrical spinnaker can be larger than a conventional spinnaker, since it can be carried further forward of the boat than is possible with a conventional spinnaker pole and the foot of the sail can extend to deck level. [1] Many modern sailboats have retractable bowsprits to enable this expansion.

  8. Boom (sailing) - Wikipedia

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

    In sailing, a boom is a spar (pole), along the foot of a fore and aft rigged sail, that greatly improves control of the angle and shape of the sail. The primary action of the boom is to keep the foot flatter when the sail angle is away from the centerline of the boat. The boom also serves as an attachment point for more sophisticated control lines.

A mizzenmast is a mast on a ketch or yawl, or spritsail barge.
