Shrouds are heavy cables or rods, extending from the mast to the spreaders or rigging hooks. These components help to support and stabilize the mast and sail in various wind conditions. For instance, The shrouds on a tall ship help to maintain the correct angle of the sails to the wind, ensuring optimal sailing performance and reducing the risk of damage to the rigging or sails.
