9. Leech. The back edge of a sail. Chapter 23: How to Tell the Main from the Jib: A Sailor’s Vocabulary 10. Head. The top corner of a sail. (Not to be confused with the marine toilet, which goes by the same name.) 11. Foot. The bottom edge of a sail. 12. Clew. The bottom rear corner of a sail, on a jib this is where the sheet attaches. 13. Tack. The bottom front corner of a sail. (To “tack,” however, is also a term meaning to work back and forth into the wind. And “tack” can also refer to one leg of the zig-zag course steered when “tacking” upwind.) 14. Backstay. A tensioned support cable that runs from the top of the mast to the stern of the boat. 15. Forestay. A tensioned support cable that runs from a point near the top of the mast to the bow of the boat. If this stay goes all the way to the top of the mast, or masthead, it can also be called a head stay. 16. Battens. Stiffeners that insert into pockets in a sail’s leech to improve the shape and the lifting ability, and to allow the mainsail to be larger than the triangle defined by the mast and boom. 17. Keel or Centerboard. The fin on the bottom of the sailboat that keeps the boat from slipping sideways. Keels are usually ballasted or weighted to help prevent a capsize. The centerboard is a moveable keel, unballasted, that’s used on smaller boats. The swing-up keel makes it easier to beach or trailer the boat. 18. Boom vang. The line used to control how much the boom can pivot upward. It sits closer to the mast than the main sheet, which is also attached to the boom. Run through this list a few times while studying the figure on the following page. When you know the names of all the parts without sneaking a peek at the key, you’re ready for some on-the-water instruction. 313
