Mr. McCloggie: It looks as if we will have some steady 30 knot following winds for the next couple of days, so please put us into the sailing configuration with topsails, lower and upper t'gallants on the forward and main masts. Spanker and flying and outer jibs should provide a nice balance.

The shanty "The North Atlantic Squadron" should help the cutouts haul on the halyards, braces and sheets.
