A halyard raises and lowers the sail. It is generally known as part of the boat's running rigging. The line that controls the mainsail's angle to the wind is called the mainsheet. The line that controls the jibsail' angle to the wind is called the jibsheet.The mains'l is physically attached to a vertical post (known as a mast), and a horizontal 'spar' known as a boom. The vertical mast is stabilized by a forestay and shrouds. These stabilizers are part of a boat's standing rigging.The jib sail does not have a boom, but certain jibs, known as "Gennys" or Genoa jibs may utilize a temporary Whisker Pole.Please access the related link listed below for a diagram and further information:
