outrigger. 1. An extension to each side of the
crosstrees of a sailing vessel to spread the
backstays, in a
schooner the
topmast backstays, and in a
square-rigged ship the
topgallant and
royal backstays.
2. A type of Pacific or Indian Ocean
canoe or
proa where a counterpoising piece of wood, usually shorter than the vessel's hull, is rigged out from the vessel's side to provide
stability when sailing.
3. The projecting beams rigged on the sides of sailing men-of-war to which additional
shrouds were led for extra support of the masts when the ship was
careened. A great strain was exerted on the mast during careening as the ship was hauled down onto its side by
tackles secured to the mastheads, hence the need for extra support by additional, temporary, shrouds.
