| By the time the Mary Jane got home, black Jack could set a stunsail, or furl a royal. |
| Participants must know the stunsail tack bend and bowline knots before coming to this lesson. |
| She was very heavily sparred, with a skysail on the main and stunsail booms aloft. |
| After about eight hours, the stunsail had to come in as the wind changed and dropped out to less than 4 knots. |
| Walking the deck with quick, side-lunging strides, Ahab commanded the t'gallant sails and royals to be set, and every stunsail spread. |
| Found the wind slight but for the first time quite fair in a due east, all the sails squared and also the stunsail out. |
