Halyard

« Back to Glossary Index

In sailing, a halyard or halliard is a line (rope) that is used to hoist a ladder, sail, a flag or a yard. The term halyard comes from the phrase, ‘to haul yards’. When used to hoist a sail, more than one rope or halyard may be needed to raise the sail. For instance, a square sail may be needed for a square sail and only one for some triangular sails.

Synonyms:
Haliard, haliards, halyard, halyards

Civilization

Every society has a specific set of ideas and customs, and a certain set of manufactures and arts that make it unique. Because ancient civilizations continue to influence us today, and because I love history, I have devoted many posts to prehistory and ancient civilizations.
