mainsail

The big moment had been delayed for more than two hours due to4m swells and a torn mainsail .

但由于天气恶劣，海面上4米多高的海浪将帆船上的主帆给撕破了，这个重大的时刻也因此被推迟了两个多小时。

I will most likely be the mainsail trimmer .

很有可能是主帆撂手。

The boat will need at least one reef in the mainsail and a smaller jib .

需要一个收缩点，前帆面积要小一些的。

A large triangular sail set on a spar that swings out opposite the mainsail , used on racing yachts when running before the wind .

安装于船用圆材上的大三角帆，展开时与主帆相对，当赛艇顺风行驶时使用。

The jibs I speedily doused and brought tumbling to the deck ; but the mainsail was a harder matter .

我迅速放下三角帆扔到甲板上，但却难以对付主帆。

Now she swirled in the billows , now she sprang upward on a gigantic wave , only to be driven down with angry howl and hiss . Down came the mainsail .

很快，它便在波涛中左冲右突，它猛地跃上一个巨大的浪峰，顷刻间就被愤怒的嘶吼声所吞没。
