Parrel Rib
Description
Parrel ribs are lengths of wood which separate the parrel trucks. Parrel ribs formed a part of a parrel set which was a collar that held the yard (supporting sail) against the mast. It allowed the yard to be raised, lowered or turned to the wind. It was made up of ‘trucks’ and ‘ribs.’ There are ribs for two or three rows of trucks, and they also have holes in them so that the parrel ropes run through both the trucks and the ribs. Each assembly would use up to 16 trucks and between six and nine ribs.
