buntlines

n. (plural of buntline English)

Usage examples of "buntlines".

For the benefit of those who know what a buntline on a sail is, I may remark that besides the usual topsail buntlines we had six extra buntlines round the whole sail, so that when it was clewed up it was, so to speak, made fast.

We had to take this precaution, of having so many buntlines, as we were short-handed.
