...on the old ocean going sailboats of yesteryear the Main mast would have three sails attached to it. From the bottom to the top they were called The Mainsail, The Topsail The Gallant and the Top Gallant. Each one of these sails had a spar (ran crossways to the mast. The highest point you could stand on any ship was the Top Gallant Spar and that is where they put the "crows nest" for the lookout. I told ya that so's I could give ya a limerick that would make sense.

There once was a sailor named brett
The best pisser I ever seen yet
He could piss in a jar
From the top gallant spar
Nor even get the sails wet!

Micro > I know NOTHING about boats. I do know: front, rear,back, left side, right side, bottom, up.


Just wait till he starts talking about bow, aft, port
and starboard. Lets not forget the mizzen and the
forecastle.
