Sqare sails and cords







15 sails and each of them has around 10 cords to operate them (eg bramsel 6 gordings, 2 sheets, halyard, contre-halyard, 2 braces, gejtawa).

And the coolest sail name (polish names come often from Dutch) : Grotbombramsztaksel
Where grot - main sail, bom - boom, bram - name of upper sail, sztak - means it is in the front, sel - means sail
