On a sailing vessel, what is the difference between 'Standing Rigging' (Jarcia fija / firme) and 'Running Rigging' (Jarcia de labor), and what is a critical inspection check for wire standing rigging?

1. Standing rigging (stays and shrouds) supports the mast in place; running rigging (halyards, sheets) adjusts and hoists the sails; standing rigging must be checked for broken wire strands (mechas) and cracked swage terminals
2. Standing rigging is used only when standing up at the helm; running rigging is used when running downwind
3. Standing rigging consists of synthetic ropes; running rigging consists of solid steel beams
4. Standing rigging controls the engine throttle; running rigging controls the anchor windlass
