Sailing vocabulary

Hi everyone!

So, I'm a practical Japanese speaker. I started working in a sailing school where I'll be teaching Japanese people how to sail on sailboats. Now I have a problem..... I have no idea how to say things regarding ships, sailing equipment and sea in Japanese.

I'm trying to find any web page that would give me a decent english-japanese translation of ship parts, names of ropes and knots, basic maritime vocabulary etc.

All ideas are welcome, season is starting in few months so I better start learning.... as soon as I find what to learn
