What is the running gear on a boat? I tried to google it but I just got a lot of stuff about shoes?

Question:

Answer: Running rigging, or running gear, is that part of a ship's rigging which is not fixed in place. Halyards and sheets used to hoist or control a sail, for example. Rigging which is fixed in place, like shrouds and stays, used to hold the mast up, are known as "standing rigging"
