running backstays Explanation: Per la precisione sono le "sartie volanti", contrapposte a quelle fisse. Si utilizzano (una alla volta, da sopravento) per aumentare la tensione, la flessione ed il sostegno dell'albero. Sotto la stessa traduzione "backstay" va anche il "paterazzo", che di solito è fisso ma, talvolta, può essere volante.
