🔍 Key Concepts

• Standing vs. running rigging on a sailing vessel • The purpose of a stay in supporting the mast • Which parts of the rigging move frequently during sail handling vs. which remain fixed

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a stay something that is adjusted often while sailing, or is it usually fixed in place to support the mast? • Consider which option(s) are used to hoist, lower, or trim sails, and which option(s) are mainly structural support. • Think about whether a stay is more like a control line or more like a permanent support cable.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choices involve moving lines used to handle sails (running rigging). • Identify which answer choice represents fixed supports for the mast (standing rigging). • Confirm whether a stay is primarily for sail shape/control or for mast support and stability.
