🔍 Key Concepts

• Sail attachment hardware used along a stay or forestay • Difference between small clip-like fasteners vs. larger connecting fittings like shackles • Common meanings of gudgeons and warps in small-boat terminology

💭 Think About

• Which item name is specifically associated with clipping the luff of a headsail to a stay, so the sail can slide up and down when hoisting and lowering? • Think about which terms are more commonly used for attaching sails versus those used for rudder fittings or mooring/anchor lines. • Eliminate answers by matching each term to the correct part of the boat: which is for rudders, which is for lines, which is for general connections, and which is for sail-to-stay clips?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each term to its usual use: sail-to-stay clips, line/rope, rudder hardware, general metal connector. • Picture the forestay on a sloop-rigged sailboat: what are those small metal spring clips along the luff of a hank-on jib called? • Confirm that the correct choice refers to small, usually spring-loaded hooks that allow the sail to be quickly attached and removed from the stay.
