- Гафель
- A spar used in ships to extend the heads of fore-and-aft sails which are not set on stays. the foremost end of the gaff is termed the jaw, the outer part is called the peak. the jaw forms a semicircle, and is secured in its position by a jaw-rope passing round the mast; on it are strung several small wooden balls called trucks, to lessen the friction on the mast when the sail is hoisting or lowering.—to blow the gaff, said of the revealing a plot or giving convicting evidence.
- [1] a pole with a barbed tip, a boathook (from portuguese gafe). [2] a spar on the mainmast of a usn vessel from which the national ensign is flown. [3] a short spar to which the head of a fore-and-aft sail is bent. see also sailing rigs. gaff-rigged: refers to a fore-and-aft sail shaped like a truncated triangle, with its upper edge made fast to a gaff. the top of a gaff-rigged sail tends to twist away from the wind reducing its efficiency when close-hauled.
- A pole with a large hook at its end.
- A tool comprising a handle and a sharp hook for boating your catch. also a word describing the event of poking one through an inflatable fishing dinghy, when a landing net may have been a better choice.
