What is "lugsails"

Usage examples of "lugsails".

There were the unmistakable lugsails of a French coaster coming round the bold headland of Point Matthew.

The tiny crew had hauled up the big lugsails before Hornblower realized that this was an interesting process which he would have done well to watch closely.

With the lugsails trimmed flat and sharp the little hoy laid herself close to the wind and foamed forward towards France.

Altogether it was a large and formidable body of men mustered on the deck of the hoy, crowding it, while the longboat cast off and, with her lugsails hauled as flat as boards, set off on the long beat back to the flagship.

Our remaining supplies, outside of personal belongings, consisted of my medicine chest, the launch's two lugsails, some spare canvas, two or three coils of rope, and a copper pot, together with some odds and ends of boat's gear which the boatswain had had the forethought to bring with him.
