289.—SETTING THE SPANKER.

Top-up the boom, overhaul lee-topping-lifts, attend the sheets and weather-guy; haul over the lee-guy, and trim the boom—man the outhaul and attend the brails and vangs—let go the brails, haul out and steady the gaff by the vangs.

Note.—The weather-vang should never be hauled, or boused too taut, as it may be the means of carrying away the gaff, especially when using trysails as storm-sails.

290.—SETTING THE JIB.

Cant the spritsail-yard to steady the boom; man the halliards and sheet—see the downhaul and brails clear, take in the slack of the sheet to steady the sail; “hoist away ;” and as the sail goes up, ease off the sheet—when taut up, haul aft the sheet.
