Now look around you, and I think you will find that you have all the safety gear rove; first you have the gaff-topsail clew-line by means of which you can clew up the topsail to the yard, and haul down snug on the cap should a squall strike you. Next you have the fore down-haul, which is a very important item in the gear, as the foresail is the most depressing sail you have in the vessel, and when a breeze strikes you strong, heavy, and wicked like, you should haul it down at once. If the vessel is well laid over to it the forestay forms an inclined plane, and the weight of wind getting into the belly of the sail prevents it running down along the stay when the halyard is let go, and then you have to get on the lee bow to hau...
