"—Rastreras, caballero, que son las de prolongación en la vela principal de cada palo. En este jabeque solo se utilizan rastreras en el trinquete. Sin embargo, las alas se incorporan en la gavia, velacho, juanete de proa y juanete mayor."
I am reading El Jabeque Murciano, a fictional novel, by Louis Delgado and ran into a translation issue (Spanish to English) on his description of her studding sail & wings. Does anyone know what the above Spanish text means in terms of extendible studding sail booms, lower course booms and actual studding sails? I cannot get my ahead around it. Thanks in advance!
Machine Translation: Studding sails, gentleman, which are the extensions on the main sail of each mast. In this xebec only studding sails are used on the foreyard. However, the wings are incorporated into the main topsail, fore topsail, fore topgallant sail and main topgallant sail.
