{{Short description|Lines that control sails}} {{See also|Rigging|Standing rigging}} [[File:Yacht-mainsheet-jibsheet-vang-downhaul-jib halyard.jpg|thumb|300px|Running rigging on a sailing yacht: {{ordered list |1=Main [[Sheet (sailing)|sheet]] |2= Jib sheet |3=Boom vang |4=Downhaul |5=Jib halyard}}]] '''Running rigging''' is the [[rigging]] of a [[sailing|sailing vessel]] that is used for raising, lowering, shaping and controlling the [[sail]]s on a sailing vessel—as opposed to the [[standing rigging]], which supports the [[Mast (sailing)|mast]] and [[bowsprit]]. Running rigging varies between vessels that are rigged fore and aft and those that are square-rigged.
