  2. Tacking (sailing) - Wikipedia

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

    Once the ship has come about, the remaining sails are adjusted to align properly with the new tack. Because square-rigger masts are more strongly supported from behind than from ahead, tacking is a dangerous procedure in strong winds. The ship may lose forward momentum (become caught in stays) and the rigging may fail from the wind coming from ...

  6. Tack (square sail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tack_(square_sail)

    The ship is close-hauled and the sail is now controlled by the tack rather than the sheet. The tack of a square-rigged sail is a line attached to its lower corner. [1] This is in contrast to the more common fore-and-aft sail, whose tack is a part of the sail itself, the corner which is (possibly semi-permanently) secured to the vessel.

  8. Brace (sailing) - Wikipedia

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

    A brace on a square-rigged ship is a rope (line) used to rotate a yard around the mast, to allow the ship to sail at different angles to the wind. Braces are always used in pairs, one at each end of a yard ( yardarm ), [ 1 ] termed port brace and starboard brace of a given yard or sail (e.g., the starboard main-brace is the brace fixed to the ...

  9. Clewlines and buntlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clewlines_and_buntlines

    Clewlines and buntlines are lines used to handle the sails of a square rigged ship. The leechlines are clearly visible running inwards and upwards from the edges of the sail. The buntlines up the front of the sail can be seen too, but their run to the blocks on the shrouds is obscured because the sail is set on a lifting yard.
