 The Square Rigging
The sail on a lower mast is called the course; thus the sail of the lower mast of the fore mast (the fore lower mast) is called the fore course, and the course of the main mast is called the main course.
Sheets are fastened in the clews and are used on the courses to trim the sail, and on the other sails to pull the clews down to the yardarms below.
The square sail was mainly used on deep-water sailers, because it is a very effective and safe sail when sailing before the wind, and on long voyages you would always choose a route with as little tacking as possible.

 On The Same Tack
Because she is not sailing above her proper course, she is not breaking rule 17.1; and because she is giving W room to keep clear, she is not breaking rule 16.1.

Note that the phrase in rule 17.1 “her proper course” clarifies that it is L who gets to sail her proper course.
