Halyard

In the world of sailing, a halyard or halliard is an essential line used for hoisting various items such as ladders, sails, flags, or yards. The term halyard originates from the phrase "to haul yards." Traditionally, halyards, like many components of a boat's running rigging, were crafted from natural fibers such as manila or hemp, ensuring durability and functionality on the water.
