An error has crept into the editing of A87767518
The original sentence;
> Well the sail may be flapping this means you will not go anywhere so pull in the mainsheet (the rope) until it stops flapping,...
Has been edited to;
>The sail may be flapping. This means you will not go anywhere, so pull in the mainsheet (using the attached rope) until it stops flapping...
The original is correct, the edit is not.
While sheets are large pieces of cloth used to cover beds in the home, on a sail boat "sheets" are the proper name for the ropes (more properly lines, but that is another topic all together) used to control sails. Sails are NEVER referred to as "sheets" by anyone with a minimal knowledge of sailing.
I would like to see this corrected before this entry is posted on the Front Page.
Thank you
