Do you have a copy of Darcy Lever's "Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor?"
Great book, explains many aspects of sailing a square rig as well as all
the parts & terminology. It even tells how to set up masts & tune the rig.


I have it. I should pull it out and re-read it. As I recall is
was a bit dry reading. It is not up to modern standards on
illustration, writing style, and terminology. I found some parts
difficult to understand because I was unfamiliar with some of
the arcane terminology.
