"Trim and make sail" refers to the process of adjusting the sails on a sailing vessel to optimize performance and ensure efficient navigation. "Trim" involves positioning the sails at the correct angle to capture the wind effectively, while "make sail" means to set the sails for sailing. Together, these actions help the boat achieve the best speed and direction based on the wind conditions.
To trim a sail in a raingutter regatta, first ensure the sail is properly attached to the mast and that the mast is securely mounted on the boat. Adjust the sail's angle relative to the wind by pulling or easing the sail's sheet (the line attached to the sail), aiming for an optimal angle that allows for maximum wind capture without flapping. Experiment with the tension on the sail to find a balance that keeps the sail full while maintaining stability. Regularly check the trim as conditions change to keep the boat moving efficiently.

"Set the yards" means arrange the sails in preparation for leaving the docks/shore/what have you: "make sail" means to actually go out into the ocean/lake. With regards to older sailing vessels (tall ships, square riggers), "man the yards" meant to send men up the mast and out along the yardarm of a square-rigger in preparation to making sail. "Making sail" meant either unfurling the sail from the yardarm, or un-reefing existing sail so as to add more sail.
