parrel, or parral, used, before the introduction of the
truss, to attach a
yard to the masts of a
square-rigger, and it sometimes still is. The basic form uses a string of wooden parrel balls, sometime called
bullseyes or
trucks, to reduce chafe. With lighter yards a
parrel rope, formed with an eye at each end and
seized to the
spar, is sometimes used. For heavier spars it was common to have loose ribs interposed between each parrel ball, which were called
ribs of a parrel. Metal collars called
parrel bands are also used. A
parrel lashing is sometimes used at the lower parts of upper masts for extra security.
