halyards, or halliards, the ropes, wires, or
tackles used to hoist or lower sails, either to their
yards in
square-rigged ships—with the exception of the fore, main, and
mizzen course—or on their
gaffs, or by their
peaks, in
fore-and-aft-rigged vessels. The courses, which are very heavy sails, are hoisted by the
jeers or
gantlines. For illus. of peak and throat halyards see
gaff rig.
