See if there is anything in the way on the weather quarter or astern.
- Q, . How would you tack the ship, suppose you are close upon a wind in moderate weather, with all your sails set ?
A. Keep her a good full, for stays. Ready about ! Send all hands to their stations. Ease the helm down gradually. Helm's a-lee ! and let go the jib-sheets and fore-sheets, * and as the sail shakes, Raise tacks and sheets ! and when nearly head a-wind (wind about a point on the weather bow), Mainsail haul ! down... main-tack, and haul aft the sheet ; haul over the head-sheets when the wind comes on the other bow; when full shift the helm, Let go and haul! down tack, haul aft the sheet, and as she gathers headway brace sharp up, haul out the bow- lines, and stand on.
It is best to haul the mainsail just before you get the wind right ahead, for then the wind, striking the weather leeches of the after sails, forces them round almost without the braces, and you will have time to brace up and get your tack down and sheet aft, when she has payed off on she other side.
