Driver (sail)

A driver is a kind of sail used on some sailboats. Smaller than a fore and aft spanker on a square rigger, a driver is tied to the same spars.

Famous quotes containing the word driver:

    God help the horse, and the driver too!
    And the people and beasts who have never a friend!
    For the driver easily might have been you,
    And the horse be me by a different end!
    And nobody knows how their days will cease!
    And the poor, when they’re old, have little of peace!
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
