fully rigged

All sails ready

Fully rigged describes a sailing ship equipped with a complete set of square sails on three or more masts—the classic configuration of tall ships and naval vessels before steam power.

By extension, fully rigged means completely outfitted or prepared: The expedition set out fully rigged for six months in the wilderness.
