lugsail
A lugsail is a type of traditional sail used in boats where the sailcloth is supported by a yard, a horizontal beam, which is hung from the mast at a fixed point. It is characterized by its four-sided design and typically, it is rigged fore and aft, meaning it is set up in a way to allow it to take wind from both ahead and behind the boat. They are commonly found in small sailing boats and historically used in fishing vessels.
