Hi, I am a dutch woman and I got asked a few days ago wehther I<br />could find out the english translation of a some sailing words. As<br />the words are specific words I did not know any translation but I<br />would like to try and explain what I mean so maybe anyone could tell<br />me the english word.<br /><br />1. If you picture a mast with 2 sails you have a front and a back<br />sail, the bottom of the back sail has a name......what is the<br />english name?<br /><br />2.what do you call the side of the back sail close to the mast/<br /><br />3. In the mast you find things attached to the sail which slide into<br />the mast and thus you can pull the sail up, what do you call them<br />things?<br /><br />I would be very gratefull if anyone could help me out here, so I<br />could tell my friend the english words so he can order parts for his<br />sailing boat, yours sincerely Erna<br />e.butcher@home.nl
