When sailing on this kind of ship you will have to make changes to the sails and, for that, you should know how to handle the ropes.<\/p>\n
Most of our ropes are located on two pin tables: one is near the main mast and the other one is near the foremast. We will take you to one of these pin tables to practice, and these are the instructions for the seven basic actions that you need to remember:<\/p>\n
Let’s see what they mean and how to do them properly:<\/p>\n
If we want you to pull the rope we will use the term haul away<\/b>:<\/p>\n Speaking of pulling heavy ropes, it can be much easier if you sweat<\/b>.<\/p>\n To sweat you need to:<\/p>\n As the name suggests, sweating to set a sail is a good workout! When we need you to stop what you’re doing, we’ll say “hold<\/b>“:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin=”0px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px||1px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”0px||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” animation_direction=”top” locked=”off”]Maybe you think that this is a good way to fix, but not really…[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/atyla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/The-wrong-way-to-fix-a-sailing-rope-goat-knot.jpg” alt=”The Wrong Way To Fix A Sailing Rope Goat Knot” title_text=”The Wrong Way To Fix A Sailing Rope Goat Knot” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” max_height=”420px”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”0px||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” animation_direction=”top” locked=”off”]Here is the right way to do it:[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/atyla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/The-right-way-to-fix-a-sailing-rope-figure-eight.jpg” alt=”The Right Way To Fix A Sailing Rope Figure Eight” title_text=”The Right Way To Fix A Sailing Rope Figure Eight” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin=”6px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px||21px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”16px||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” animation_direction=”top” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n Fixing very heavy ropes with many people pulling them can be challenging. We, the crew, will take care of it, but you will need to let go<\/b> and give the slack the rope needs to go around the pin. So when we ask for it, let go of the rope right away.<\/p>\n Once we’re done adjusting a rope, we can’t just let it lie on the deck, we have to coil<\/b> it: <\/p>\n On Atyla we coil the rope clockwise around the pin:<\/p>\n So far, we’ve only seen how to pull the ropes but sometimes we also need to ease away<\/b>:<\/p>\n If the wind direction or the course changes, if we see another ship or even a buoy, the officer on watch may give an order to change the sails. We will then guide you and make the change together as a team.<\/p>\n If you forgot one of the instructions or you’re not too sure about something please ask, we’ll be happy to help you.<\/p>\n Now you should know what haul away, sweat, hold, let go, fix coil and ease away<\/b> mean. In other words, you’re almost ready to sail!<\/p>\n All you need now is a little bit of practice so, get out on the deck, have fun, and make the most of your sailing experience on Atyla![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”3px” disabled_on=”off|off|off%22″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ max_width=”150px” module_alignment=”center” height=”9px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” animation_direction=”top” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||” text_text_color=”#1a1a1a” header_2_text_align=”center” header_3_text_align=”center” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”|||” animation_direction=”top” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”body1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||11px|||”]<\/p>\n If you’re at least 15 years old (there’s no maximum age), you can join any of our adventure sailing trips!<\/p>\n Check our list of trips and books yours today.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjEwNiJ9fQ==@” button_text=”List of sailing trips” button_alignment=”center” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” button_icon=”%%3%%” button_icon_color=”#1a1a1a” custom_margin=”-1px||||false|false” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”0px” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”4px” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”#1a1a1a” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” admin_label=”Offer” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/atyla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Tall-ships-races-tsr16-tsr20-a-coruna-parade-sail-atyla-ship_torre_hercules.jpg” background_position=”bottom_center” min_height=”240px” custom_padding=”38px||1px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”80px||80px|” custom_padding_phone=”64px||64px||true|false”][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″ custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”22px||15px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||” text_text_color=”#1a1a1a” header_2_text_align=”center” header_3_text_align=”center” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”|||” animation_direction=”top” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”body1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||11px|||”]<\/p>\n Help us give more people an experience that will change their life.<\/p>\n\n
