	Gaff rig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gaff rig is a sailing rig (configuration of sails) in which a sail is a four-cornered fore-and-aft rigged sail controlled at its peak, and usually entire head, by a spar (pole) called the gaff.
		The gaff enables a fore and aft sail to be four sided, rather than triangular, up to doubling the sail area that can be carried by the same mast and boom.
		Gaff rig remains the most popular rig for schooner and barquentine mainsails and other course sails, and spanker sails on a square rigged vessel are always gaff rigged.

	Gaff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sailing, a gaff is the upper spar used to control a four sided fore-and-aft sail set aft of the mast.
		Now largely obsolete, the gaff rig was once the normal rig on classic schooners and all other sailing ships using fore-and-aft rigging, and also on sailing dingies.
		On smaller boats, a single halyard raises the gaff, an arrangement known as gunter rig after the wire gunter that runs along the top of the gaff, and along which the end of the halyard runs by means of a block.

	Questions & Answers: Blow the gaff
		Together with the English dialect gaff for loud and coarse talk, or the same Scots word gaff which meant to talk loudly and merrily, this gave rise at one time to a peculiarly American slang sense of gaff that referred to severe criticism, treatment, or hardship (as in stand the gaff or give the gaff).
		As gaff was also used for the spurs attached to the heels of fighting cocks, and as such pastimes and gambling were intimately associated with fairs, it may be that several literal and figurative slang senses of the word came together in this meaning.
		What may have happened was that blow the gab became the model for a newer phrase, blow the gaff, under the influence of the cheating trick sense of gaff, where it would at first have meant exposing the trade secrets of gamblers and cheats.
