All about Boats, Yachts and Sailing

Laura asked:


Working on a bit of writing and need to have at least a basic understanding of how the crew would lower/raise and do other adjustments to the sails of ships. The older type of ship the better. If you know and can type it in, that’s cool, but if you can just point me to some websites, that’d be cool too.
