sailing Terms - outhaul
Working on sailing terms at https://pmrsailing.uk/sailing-lessons/sailing-terms-list/Outhaul.html The outhaul is a line or tackle system on a sailboat used to adjust the tension along the foot of the mainsail. By pulling the sail out along the boom, the outhaul controls the sail’s shape, particularly its fullness, which directly affects the boat's performance.
