                     (do we want this header, since it's just a 
                     nuisance to put sails in subheaders under 
                     it (which we didn't do, you'll notice)
                    (Maybe if I could think of more things to
                     list under standing rigging, I'd like to
                     have separate "standing" and "running" headers?)
