The rope that runs up the mast to pull up the mainsail is called the halyard and to bring the sail down the line is called the downhaul. The lines that are used when sailing are called sheets and each sheet will refer to the sail that it controls. So when you trim the mainsail you use the mainsheet, if trimming the jib, then you will adjust the jib sheet. There are other lines used for sail trimming such as a cunningham or a kicker Standing Rigging The Standing rigging refers to all the lines that support the stationary objects on a sailing yacht, such as the mast. These are generally steel cables and are called either shrouds or stays. For example, the line (cable) that runs from the mast to the bow of the boat is called the forestay, for lines that run to the stern of the boat are often called backstays.
