"Jungs holt fast (und kikt in die Sünn)" in german (quote from Graf Luckner)Usually it meant to pull a rope or tow, but also meant to not give up and stand fast (and look towards the sun).

Seen this "manning the rails" on the »Gorch F0ck« (on sailing ships the yards are manned) , but also at various events like "Operation Sail" in Hamburg, and Bremerhaven.
