Port means left. Starboard means right. Sheets are
lines. Mains sheet and
jib sheet. One controls the main sail, two control the
jib, only one is loaded at a time. The one trimming the
jib on the leeward side is the working sheet the one on the windward side is th lazy sheet. They lead to
winches, allways wrap the sheet around them the way they spin from the bottom up, the more wind the more wraps you want. Usually three is enough for a smaller boat. Got to go. You'll get plenty more help here. PEACE HAPPY SAILING. Get the book The Complete Sailor by David Seildman. Covers about everything.
