On a small, single-masted ship, the sail will be large and the deck so small you have to watch for the boom—it's the spar under the sail. So when the sail moves, it's likely to swing suddenly across the deck and knock the sailor unaware in the head. Sometimes this results in unconsciousness. Sometimes the sailor is knocked into the water. And sometimes, the sailor is knocked ''unconscious'' into the water.
