downhaul

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim Any rope used to haul down a sail or spar.

   “The only sail that is wholly ours is the spanker. They control absolutely--sheets, halyards, clewlines, buntlines, braces, and down-hauls--every sail on the fore and main. We control the braces on the mizzen, although they control the canvas on the mizzen.”
