"content": "Questions always follow after such, 'salty talk', or 'nautical nomenclature', or in #Star_Trek terms, #technobabble.\n\nWhat's the difference between a mizzen topgallant sail and a main royal staysail? Just a few rules is all it takes, but in today's world, one need only avail themselves of the basic Marconi rig on a single masted sloop. There's a mainsail (the big triangular one aft of the mast), and a jib, or foresail. Typically, when speaking about a jib (the one forward of the mast), people will typically categorize them into about three classes:\n\na #Genoa (big one - low wind conditions)\na #Jenny (also called a #working_jib for most wind conditions)\na #Storm_jib - smallish, for reduced sail area in high and gale force winds.\n\nIf you're rigged to run one jib, you're a #sloop; two, and you're #cutter rigged.\n\ntl;dr: Unlike elections, rigging is a good thing. Without standing rigging you have nothing to hold your masts up in place and they'll just snap or fall over. Without running rigging you have no way to control your sails, hoist them up, or catch the wind. \n\nSo when it comes to sailboats, it's a very good thing that they're rigged :p\n\n#tallship #silly #rigging\n\nhttps://media.neenster.org/df789209-6951-431e-a6dd-13153884c595/ts2.jpg",
