shrouds: transverse wires or ropes that support the mast laterally ropes or wires led from the mast to chain plates at deck level on either side of the mast, and which hold the mast from falling or bending sideways.
SHOAL Shallow SHP - See SHAFT HORSEPOWER SHROUDS The stays that support the mast at the sides.
Catharpings - In square-rigged vessels, short lines at the lower end of the futtock shrouds used to bring in the shrouds tighter to give room to brace the yards at a sharper angle when sailing close hauled.
They serve as additional supports to prevent the masts going forward and also contribute to the lateral support, thereby assisting the shrouds.

Lateral pressure is met by the shrouds and breastbackstays. A temporary or " preventer " backstay is used when great pressure is to be met. Seamen have at all times had recourse to special devices to meet particular dangers.

Shrouds (Sidestays): wires that run from the masthead to the sides of the boat to support the mast and prevent it from swaying.
Sloop: a boat rigged with one mast and two sails (main and headsail or jib).
It does not even show the shrouds. I like my sailplans to bring the boat to life. Adding detail helps add life to the drawing and also gives anyone looking at it a far better idea of what is going on with the design.

Often, you'll find an intermediate shroud fitted, running from the point where the staysail stay intersects the mast to a chainplate just abaft the aft lower shroud.
Chainplate: Fitting that connects shrouds (or side stays) to hull.
The wires and ropes, which fasten the mast to both sides are called shrouds. Staysails are sails which will be set on the fore stays. You can find them in front of the mast or between two masts.
Short pieces of yarn attached to the shrouds, or the sails. At the shrouds they indicate the direction of the wind (the apparent wind), and at the sails they help to check the air flow over the sail, so that proper trimming is easier.

A large knot in the sheet at the sail's clew may hang up on a shroud, although this will usually clear if the tension is released momentarily on the line. Prevention is the best solution.
A spar projecting in front of the bows, and secured in place by various ropes, those to each side being "shrouds," and those beneath "bobstays".
Bridge ...

A stay runs from the top of the mast to the bow (front) or stern (rear) and the shrouds run from the top of the mast to the port (left) and starboard (right) side of the hull to give sideways support.
