gaffsail
A gaffsail is a type of sail that is four-cornered, fore-and-aft rigged, and controlled at its peak and, usually, its entire head by a spar known as the gaff. Traditionally, the gaff is hoisted by two halyards, the throat halyard to the end closer to the mast and the peak halyard to the end farther from the mast. It is typically used on schooners and other traditional sailing vessels.
