The term ‘all standing’ refers to a state where all sails are set and no sail is being furled or taken down. It is a state of readiness for quick maneuvers or to face unexpected weather conditions.
For instance, when a squall is approaching, the captain may order ‘all hands on deck’ and ‘all standing’ to be prepared for a quick turnaround or to take down the sails if necessary to avoid damage.
