A spar is a pole of wood, metal or lightweight materials used in the rigging of a sailing boat to carry or support its sail. Rigging can be either standing or running. The standing rigging consists of all the cables that hold the mast and on which one does not act during navigation while the running rigging refers to all moving parts of a sailing boat and on which it is likely to act during navigation. Boat Accessories Australia stocks a wide range of spare products to maintain your rigging equipment, from swages, yokes and terminals to pins and ferrules.
