Sailboats On The Beach

The wind whips through the western shore, shaking the metal parts on the sailboats lined up along the beach. The jingling sound is like some magical mermaid ceremony. A thousand seashells clapping for the momentous occasion of the sea-king's spiritual ceremony set out on the stunning seaside sands. You climb to the crest of a sand dune just in time to see the last flipper following the parade back into the depths of the great green ocean. Sails are fabric aerofoils designed to catch the wind and manipulate the air currents surrounding the vessel. They are attached to spars and rigging in various ways, such as metal clips, rope hoops, or in a luff-groove. The term cordage refers to the ropes, called lines, that connect and manipulate sails. Cordage is attached to the spars and sometimes the sails by systems of metal pulleys and clips. The materials chosen for cordage are determined by the strength and weight of the rope. Cordage is divided into two types: running rigging and standing rigging. This sound uses the following file from Freesound:http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=36045
