jibboom

• One of them came prancing along, tossed up the stern so that part of the jibboom was put under and her attitude became uncommonly like running head first under the sea. —  The Shellback's Progress In the Nineteenth Century
• The bowsprit had been sprung when the jibboom was wrenched from the cap by the fall of the top-gallant-mast; it still had to bear the weight of the heavy spritsail yard, and the drag of the staysail might carry the spar overboard with the men upon it. —  The Frozen Pirate
• Her topmasts were standing, but her jibboom was rigged in. —  The Frozen Pirate
• After repeated broadsides, to which, in her disabled and confused state, she could make no return, she gradually increased her distance; still, she had remained in our hands, a proud trophy--I say, still she had been a proud trophy--had not the unequal collision'--[it was a very unequal collision, for she was a much smaller vessel than we were]--`carried away our foreyard, cat-head fore-top-gallant mast, jibboom, and dolphin-striker, and rendered us from the state of our rigging, a mere wreck. —  The Poacher Joseph Rushbrook
• So she might have done with the greatest ease, but having fired our broadside just as her flying jibboom was touching our mainyard, we bore up, and her bow struck our larboard quarter. —  Dick Cheveley His Adventures and Misadventures
