In boating, it usually refers to a projecting support attached to the side of a canoe or other small vessel to prevent it from capsizing. In architecture or construction, it refers to the horizontal structures designed to transmit the load to other parts of the building.

1. Outrigger

   An outrigger is a part of a boat's rigging which is rigid and extends beyond the side or gunwale of a boat. In an outrigger canoe and in sailboats such as the proa, an outrigger is a thin, long, solid, hull used to stabilise an inherently unstable main hull. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and parallel to the main hull so that the main hull is less likely to capsize. If only one outrigger is used on a vessel, its weight reduces the tendency to capsize in one direction and its buoyancy reduces the tendency in the other direction.
