Earings
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- Small lines, by which the uppermost corners of the largest sails are secured to the yardarms.
- Certain small ropes employed to fasten the upper corners of a sail to its yard, for which purpose one end of the earing is passed through itself; and the other end is passed five or six times round the yard-arm, and through the cringle; the two first turns, which are intended to stretch the head of the sail tight along the yard, are passed beyond the lift and rigging on the yard-arm, and are called outer turns, while the rest, which draw it close up to the yard, and are passed within the lift, &c., are called inner turns. below the above are the reef-earings, which are used to reef the sail when the reef-tackles have stretched it to take off the strain.

Jackass-barque, английский
Sometimes spelled jackass bark, is a sailing ship with three (or more) masts, of which the foremast is square-rigged and the main is partially square-rigged (topsail, topgallant, etc.) and partially fore-and-aft rigged (course). the mizzen mast is fore-and-aft rigged.
Travellers, английский
Small fittings that slide on a rod or line. the most common use is for the inboard end of the mainsheet; a more esoteric form of traveller consists of "slight iron rings, encircling the backstays, which are used for hoisting the top-gallant yards, and confining them to the backstays".
