ing the rudder to a wheel; as the handling of a tiller connected
directly to the rudder of a large vessel would be a very difficult task
indeed.

As, in order to turn a boat to the right, the tiller must be moved to
the left, the terms used by sailors in steering boats are often
confusing to landsmen. For example, if a sailor wants a boat turned to
the left, or to _port_, as it’s called, he will say, “Starboard the
helm,” or, in other words, push the tiller to the _starboard_ or
right-hand side, and vice versa. It is not so bad when steering with a
tiller, but when steering with a wheel the beginner is very apt to do
the wrong thing and turn the wheel _to the right_ when he wants to go
_to the right_ and _to the left_, or _port_, when he wants to go to that
direction, and to simplify matters many boats are now arranged so that
the wheel is turned in the direction one really wants to go.

This makes it very easy when steering for oneself, but if someone is
directing the course and sings out the orders in true sailor fashion the
steersman has to remember and _port_ his helm when he is told to
_starboard_ it and thus the confusion is just as bad as ever. For this
reason the beginner should use a tiller if possible; for that matter,
there is no advantage in a wheel in boats less than thirty or forty feet
in length.

 As, in decree to become a boat to the right, the cultivator must be moved to 
 the left, the terms use by sailors in steering gravy boat are often 
 confusing to landsmen. For exemplar, if a bluejacket wants a boat turned to 
 the left, or to _ port _, as it ’s call, he will say, “ Starboard the 
 helm, ” or, in other words, press the tiller to the _ starboard _ or 
 right - hand side, and frailty versa. It is not so regretful when steering with a 
 tiller, but when steering with a wheel the founder is very apt to do 
 the wrong thing and turn the rack _ to the right _ when he wants to go 
 _ to the right _ and _ to the left _, or _ port _, when he wants to go to that 
 direction, and to simplify matters many boat are now arranged so that 
 the bicycle is turn in the direction one really wants to function. 

 This makes it very easy when steering for oneself, but if someone is 
 directing the path and sings out the orders in true sailor fashion the 
 steersman accept to remember and _ port _ his helm when he is told to 
 _ starboard _ it and thus the confusion is barely as regretful as always. For this 
 rationality the beginner should use a tiller if potential; for that matter, 
 there is no advantage in a wheel in boats less than thirty or forty feet 
 in length.
