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

   The length of chain running diagonally up and right from the bottom-left of this picture to the upper of the two yards is the fore-lower-topsail sheet. Some of the lines on Prince William 's larger sails are made of chain to handle the heavy loads while remaining flexible enough to pass through the various blocks on their route to the deck.

3. Drywall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall

   Drywall panels in Canada and the United States are made in widths of 48, 54, and 96 inches (1.2, 1.4, and 2.4 m) and varying lengths to suit the application. The most common width is 48 inches; however, 54-inch-wide panels are becoming more popular as 9-foot (2.7 m) ceiling heights become more common.

4. Sailfish (sailboat) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish_(sailboat)

   The wooden Sailfish began as the 11-foot, 7 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (3.5 m) "Standard" model. Shortly after its inception a larger, 13-foot, 7-inch (4.2 m) "Super" model was made available. In the early years the spars were made from Sitka spruce and the sail was silk. Historic photos show sails with as many as 10 panels and even small battens inserted ...

5. Sail components - Wikipedia

   On a jib, the sheet is connected to the clew; on a mainsail, the sheet is connected to the boom (if present) near the clew. [8] Clews are the lower two corners of a square sail. Square sails have sheets attached to their clews like triangular sails, but the sheets are used to pull the sail down to the yard below rather than to adjust the angle ...

   The 4:1 outhaul and the reefing system are also internally-mounted. There is a 2:1 Cunningham, a fixed topping lift and a 4:1 mainsheet mounted at the rear of the center cockpit on the roof of the aft cabin. The jib sheets are run from the full-length toe rail. An anchor locker is located in the bow. [3]

8. Centreboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centreboard

   A long narrow centreboard produces less drag than a short, wide one for a given amount of lift, resulting in a faster boat that can point closer into the wind. A fore and aft, pivoting centreboard can also be used to move the centre of lateral resistance aft to match a change in sail plan, such as furling or dropping the jib.

9. 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 ...
