full-rigged
Every mast square-sailed
Full-rigged describes a sailing ship with three or more masts, all carrying square sails on horizontal yards.
The term distinguishes these vessels from ships with fore-and-aft rigging or mixed configurations.
A full-rigged ship represents the classic image of tall ships from the age of sail.
By extension, full-rigged can mean fully equipped or complete: a full-rigged expedition.
