trysail, a small sail set for heavy weather in place of the normal sails, especially in small sailing craft. Originally a rectangular sail with its own gaff, which was used to replace a gaff-rigged mainsail, but currently a triangular sail usually set over the main boom when the mainsail has been handed and stowed. In this state it is sheeted to the boom or independently.
