I haven't got a clew.....

[Oscarvan]

I know the parts of my marconi main: the sides are bottom-foot, front-luff and back-leech. The corners: head, tack and clew....so far so good.

Now I'm learning that on a gaff sail the fourth side, the one attached to the gaff, is called the head......

So, what do we call the corner between the head and the leech?:confused:

throat?
