nota Explanation: pur avendo fatto diverse regate non sono esperto dei termini inglesi. Potrebbero essere i matafioni per terzaruolare la vela. Matafione = corto pezzo di sagola cucito alla vela per serrarla. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-21 09:37:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- -- Terzarolare ridurre la superficie di una vela serrandone una o più mani di terzaruolo*. -- Terzaruolo parte di vela compresa fra due bende che si serra per sottrarla al vento. |

That part of a sail which is taken in or let out by means of the reef points, in order to adapt the size of the sail to the force of the wind. Note: From the head to the first reef-band, in square sails, is termed the first reef; from this to the next is the second reef; and so on. In fore-and-aft sails, which reef on the foot, the first reef is the lowest part. --Totten quindi reef line=> matafione to jam=>bloccare jammers=> blocchi ciao -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-21 10:38:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- forse anche bloccaggi o tenditori riciao |
