Let a small boat run away the wrap to the quay. Lower, and stow the
mainsail. Unbend the jib, and stow it below if dry and not immediately
wanted, and hook the halyards to the traveller, close in by the stem.
If otherwise, hoist upon the halyards, and let it hang to dry if it
require it, or stop it up and down the foremost shroud. Haul the vessel
to the moorings, and moor properly, putting fenders over to keep her
from the quay.
