(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
On a sailboat, the shrouds are pieces of standing rigging which hold the mast up from side to side. There are frequently more than one shroud on each side of the boat. Usually a shroud will connect at the top of the mast, and then additional shrouds might connect partway down the mast, depending on the design of the boat. All shrouds then terminate their bottom end to the side of the boat. Shrouds are attached symetrically on both the port and starboard sides. For those shrouds which attach high up the mast, a spreader can be used to increase the angle the shroud makes with the mast at the attachment point, providing more support to the mast.Contrast with forestay and backstay.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing. Hearst kept a diary wherein were writ All that he had of wisdom and of wit. So the Recording Angel, when Hearst died, Erased all entries of his own and cried: "I'll judge you by your diary." Said Hearst: "Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First" -- Straightway producing, jubilant and proud, That record from a pocket in his shroud. The Angel slowly turned the pages o'er, Each stupid line of which he knew before, Glooming and gleaming as by turns he hit On Shallow sentiment and stolen wit; Then gravely closed the book and gave it back. "My friend, you've wandered from your proper track: You'd never be content this side the tomb -- For big ideas Heaven has little room, And Hell's no latitude for making mirth," He said, and kicked the fellow back to earth. "The Mad Philosopher" |
