Halyard information


Sailors hauling a halyard

In sailing, a halyard or halliard is a line (rope) that is used to hoist a ladder, sail, flag or yard. The term "halyard" derives from the Middle English halier ("rope to haul with"), with the last syllable altered by association with the English unit of measure "yard".[1] Halyards, like most other parts of the running rigging, were classically made of natural fibre like manila or hemp.
