Buntline

The only sail that is wholly ours is the spanker. They control absolutely--sheets, halyards, clewlines, buntlines, braces, and down-hauls--every sail on the fore and main. We control the braces on the mizzen, although they control the canvas on the mizzen.

“Cast off the topsail sheets, clew garnets, leechlines and buntlines!” The order came thinly through the roar of the wind.
