Clewlines and buntlines
text:
Clewlines and buntlines are lines used to handle the sails of a square rigged ship. Although the common perception of a traditionally rigged ship is that the sails are handled from "up in the rigging", the majority of the work is actually carried out from the deck. In particular, when sailors go aloft to stow the square sails by bundling them up and tying them to the yard they don't have to pull the whole weight of the sail up towards them. That work has already been carried out from the deck us
