17 133 The lateen-rigged galley, whether a round ship or a ram-ship, although it can furl its sail, cannot well let out and take in sail; it is not a square-rigged craft; accordingly she carries different sails for different conditions; the yard itself, from the mast, is lowered and hoisted, sails being re...

10 159 The wages of a sail-maker, incidentally, are four copper tarn disks per day, those of a fine shipwright, hired by the Council of Captains, as much as a golden tarn disk per day.

10 166 The organizations, such as the sail-makers, almost guildlike, not castes, have dues, and these dues tend to be applied to a number of purposes, such as support of those injured or their families, loans, payments when men are out of work, and pensions.

14 304 They can, generally, sail satisfactorily to windward, taking full advantage of their lateen rigging, which is particularly suited to windward work.
Details
10
14 305 The ram-ship, on the other hand, is difficult to sail to windward, even with lateen rigging, because of its length, its narrowness and its shallow draft.

17 99 Soon seamen were clambering out on the long sloping yard and, assisted by others on the deck, hauling on brail ropes, were tying in the long triangular sail.
Details
10
17 134 It was the latter sail which, although it was unusual, the round ships were using for tacking; had they used either of the larger sails, with the sharp wind, they would have heeled dangerously toward the water, perhaps shipping water through the leeward thole ports.

18 19 "Set the storm sail!" Men hastened to do what I had told them, and, as they did so, I sent signals to reserve ships, to be conveyed to the balance of the fleet, that they might save themselves while they could.

18 30 The yard had been lowered and the small, triangular storm sail was attached to it.

10
2 550 The brail ropes serve little more, in the lateen-rigged craft, than to raise the sail to its yard, permitting its being tied there, or to drop the sail, opening it to the wind.

2 548 In the usual Gorean galley, lateen rigged, there is no practical way to take in, or shorten, sail, as with many types of square-rigged craft.

2 169 In battle, of course, such shields are not hung on the side of the ship; they would obstruct the thole ports; but, even if oars were not used, they would be within the hull, at hand; why should a crewman expose himself to missile fire to retrieve a shield so fastened?
