| These boats sometimes are rigged for sailing with a small spritsail or lugsail and in modern versions are often fitted with an outboard motor in a well at the stern. |
| The spritsail flapped emptily and the boat righted to an even keel, causing the two men swiftly to change position. |
| Forward the ships had bowsprits, on which each set a spritsail, from a spritsail yard. |
| Our only squaresail was a spritsail at the main-yard to serve as a mainsail. |
| Three sails are carried on the bowsprit along with the spritsail that hangs from the spritsail yard. |
| I wished to make all the northing that was possible, but there was nothing to be done in that way with the spritsail alone. |
