High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Square rig is a generic type of sail and rigging arrangement in which the primary driving sails are carried on horizontal spars which are perpendicular, or square, to the keel of the vessel and to the masts. These spars are called yards and their tips, beyond the last stay, are called the yardarms. A ship at least partially so rigged is called a square rigger. The term can also describe individual, four-cornered sails suspended from the horizontal yards, and carried on either a square rigged or a mainly fore-and-aft rigged vessel, such as one with a bermuda rigged or gaff rigged mainsail.
