Rigging (Anglo-Saxon wrigan or wrihan, to clothe), the general term, in connection with ships, for the whole apparatus of spars (including both masts and yards), sails and cordage, by which the force of the wind is utilized to move the hull against the resistance, and with the support, of the water.
The running rigging by which all spars and sails are hoisted, or lowered and spread or taken in, may be divided into those which lift and lower - the lifts, jeers, halliards (haulyards, halyards) and those which hold down the lower corners of the sails the tacks and sheets.
The simplest of all forms of rigging is the dipping lug, a quadrangular sail hanging from a yard, and always hoisted on the side of the mast opposite to that on which the wind is blowing (the lee side).
