In hoisting the spinnaker it will be found a great saving of labour to send it up in stops ready for breaking out when the pull at the outhaul is taken.
There is a fitting which must not be passed over that is now almost universally adopted on large yachts, but is equally important on small ones--that is, an iron horse at the main-boom end for the mainsail outhaul to travel on.
The reef in the mainsail was shaken out by a hand slung from the masthead in the bight of a gaut-line, and hauled along the boom by an outhaul as he cast off the stops.
The outhaul block gave way, and the topmast studding-sail boom bent in a manner which I never before supposed a stick could bend.
Reeve the outhaul through the block at the swinging-boom-end, and bend the forward end to the outer clew of the sail.
The practice now is, and it is found most convenient, to set the sail before rigging out the boom; then clap on the outhaul and forward guy, and trim the boom by the lower yard.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "outhaul" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
