text: Quadrilateral sails are extended by yards, as the principal sails; by yards and booms, as studding-sails; a gaff, as mizen courses; or by a boom and gaff, as drivers, or boom-mainsails, of brigs, sloops, &c. Triangular sails are spread by a stay, as staysails; or by a mast, and sometimes by a yard, acting as a kind of gaff, as lateen or shoulder-of-mutton-sails: the foremost leech, or edge, is attached to the yard, mast, or stay, the whole length.
