A lexicon of sails, spars, and the parts of a small boat. Each note sits under a system — hull, deck, rig, helm — so a sheet and a halyard do not collapse into the same word.
Look up a term, follow it to the group it belongs to, and keep the ones you still mix up. When two fittings look alike, put them next to each other and read the job each one does.
For readers who sail or follow boats and want the language straight, without weather feeds or a racing sim.
Sailing terms, rigs, and boat systems in a compact lexicon.
