- Rigging_monkey abstract "Rigging Monkey refers to a crewmember of a sailing vessel whose primary responsibility is to climb the mast, usually with the assistance of a boatswain's chair, to work on the rigging of the ship.The rigging monkey would be sent aloft to repair damaged sails, straighten out lines that had become "fouled", or tangled, or to assist in the raising or lowering of sails.In the days of tall-ship sailing, the nautical term "monkey" was used to refer to anything of small size on the ship. Jackets or coats that were cut to a shorter length to allow freedom of movement in the rigging were called monkey jackets, which were worn by the rigging monkey. Powder monkeys were usually small boys that would run black powder from the powder room to the cannons on the ship, and their small size allowed them to negotiate the narrow passages within the ship. Cannonball would be stacked in pyramids inside brass squares which were known as 'brass monkeys' which were prone to contract when the temperature dropped, causing their contents to scatter, giving rise to the often misunderstood expression 'It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'.The term still applies to modern sailors who climb their masts to make repairs to their rigs. Safety precautions, such as wearing a harness or sitting in a boatswain's chair (a fabric seat that is tied to a halyard) are standard procedure, especially on larger boats.".
