It played a vital role in maneuvering the vessel and harnessing the power of the wind to propel it forward. The rigging was carefully arranged and adjusted to maximize the efficiency of the sails and allow for different sailing maneuvers. It required the expertise of skilled sailors who understood the intricacies of rigging and could manipulate the ropes to optimize the ship’s performance in different wind conditions.
