Changing Columbus's rigs to suit Atlantic winds

Did Columbus's ships change from lateen to square rig during the first voyage to suit the trade winds?

The speakers believe so, while noting they are answering from memory; early crews had the skill and numbers to alter rigs during a voyage.

The speakers recall that at least one of Columbus's early voyages involved changing a ship's rig as Atlantic conditions changed, although the answer is explicitly given from memory. Moving between lateen and square arrangements could better suit the trade winds and the intended leg of the voyage. Early crews were often large and experienced enough to alter spars and sails away from a fully equipped home yard. As ship systems and crewing patterns changed, major mid-voyage rerigging became less common and more dependent on harbour facilities. The example turns rig choice into an adaptable operational decision rather than a permanently fixed design label.
