Hull speed in knots = _*(_^1/2)

8 knots = _ statute miles per hour

A hull that rides atop its own bow wave and displaces less water than its weight

A hull with displacement and planing characteristics; never full atop bow wave; most trawlers and cruisers

Catamaran and trimaran hulls: displacement but little wave resistance & lots of sail; hard to maneuver at docking speeds

A weighted fin on a boat's bottom that keeps it from slipping sideways and keeps the sail upward

A removable keel that some sailboats have

Replaces the tiller on larger boats

The top of a mast

A horizontal spar attached to the mast to support the bottom part of the mainsail

Leaning the weight of the crew to the windward side to keep the boat on an even keel

Plastic-coated wires enclosing the deck to keep the crew from falling overboard

_ or _: metal supports that lifelines are suspended from

A slide across the boat that the mainsheet is led to

The sides of a hull above the waterline

Wires that support the mast

The wire from the top of the mast to the bow that supports the mast

The wire from the top of the mast to the stern that supports the mast

_ or _: the wires from the masthead to the sides of the boat that support the mast

The primary source of sail power; attached along the front edge of the mast and the bottom of the boom

_ or _: a balloonlike sail used when running with the wind

_ or _: the sail-set forward of the mainsail which is attached to the forestay using jib hanks

A large jib with overlap aft of the mast

The top corner of a sail

The foot of the mainsail attaches to the _, and the foot of the jib is _

The trailing edge of a sail

Support sticks in pockets to keep the leech of a sail from flapping

The fullness & roundness of a sail

Lines that pull sails up and adjust their slope; not stationary

Letting a sail out using running rigging

Pulling a sail in using running rigging

Lines used to hoist sails and hold them up

The line used to trim the mainsail, through a block & tackle

Two lines, on each side, used to trim the jib

Prevents the boom from dropping onto the deck

_ attach to the head of a sail, run through the top of the mast via a _ (or block), and to the bottomof the mast

Most boats have _ to aid in hoisting sails

Has a multiple-part block & tackle to increase pulling power

Two lines connected to the clew of the jib that lead along each side of the boat to the cockpit

Jib sheets are attached to the clew of the jib with a _ knot

A knot that unties easily and is strong but temporary

The free end of a jib sheet leads through a _, around a winch, to a _ or _

At the tail end of the jib sheet is a _ or _ knot, which keeps the line from pulling through the turning block

If the mainsail is lowered without the topping lift attached, the boom will _
