Shakedown cruise, английский

Sailmaker, английский
- A craftsman who makes and repairs sails, working either on shore in a sail loft or aboard a large, ocean-going sailing ship.
- [1] ashore: the person in one of the large factories called sail lofts responsible for designing, making and repairing complete suits of sails. [2] afloat: a junior warrant officer who reported to the boatswain. he and his mates were “idlers” who did not stand watches. they were responsible for maintaining and repairing the ship’s sails and making other canvas items such as hatch covers and buckets. they also cut and stitched flags, pennants and the like. they would normally have served an apprenticeship in a loft, so would have had the skill to make complete suits of sails, but there was not enough space to spread them out aboard ship, so new ones were made ashore. [3] modern: the trade might be expected to have faded away when power-driven ships came into use, but a visitor to the bowels of many a modern warship will find sailmakers making all manner of awnings, covers, and other canvas items. today they work mainly with electric sewing machines, but still use some of the traditional tools such as benchhooks, fids, sail palms, and sailmaker’s needles. sailmaker’s needle: similar to a leatherworker’s needle, but the triangular point (for piercing without tearing) extends further up the shaft. used for sewing thick canvas or heavy leather.
