catharpings, or catharpins. 1. Short ropes attached to the
futtock shrouds under the
tops in
square-rigged vessels. They are used to
brace in the
shrouds more tightly and thus give space to brace the
yards at a sharper angle to the fore-and-aft line when a square-rigged ship sails
close hauled. For illus. see
futtock shrouds.
2. The lashings used on
yachts to prevent
halyards frapping on the mast when
moored up or at anchor, or in a
marina.
