Raise the yards to port. Unbrail the spanker. All hands to the braces. Let go springs and haul away.
Hi Robert, This isn't an easy task. I know, as I've translated several books on maritime history. Here are the sentences you're looking for:
Raise the yards to port.
Unbrail the spanker.
All hands to the braces.
Let go springs and haul away.

I forgot to add that the term 'springs' refers to the spring/mooring lines. The above reference links to the Encyclopedia of Marine & Energy Technology made available by Wärtsilä.

The first command is "brace the yards to port."
Although raising the yards is a common expression, in this case the captain is requesting that they are braced to 'port'.

: I agree with everything except 'raise the yards' — 'brace' is much more likely if it is to port or starboard! Well spotted for the 'springs'!

Mr Marsley === Mr Moxon
Mr Greeley === Mr Gridley
The rest is correct.
Unbrail the spanker.
I can't hear any of the others for the music!
The 'spanker' is I believe a particular sail — the only 'un-' I can think that might fit with it is 'unbrail', which means to release the lines keeping it furled — as we see on the mainsail; but I though the 'spanker' was a kind of triangular sail or 'jib' between two masts, in which case, what we seem to see is it flapping in a very unseamanlike manner in the wind; but I can' think what 'un-' might go with that...?
I'd have thought it was more likely to be 'brace the yards to port', since by and large, they aren't very often 'raised', but are indeed often 'braced' to one side or the other.
Actually, having said that, I'm now not quite so sure that what I've said is actually the correct meaning for 'to brail' — but that might mean it would actually fit better anyway!
Raise the yards to port
