yarders
Log-dragging cable machines
Yarders are things measured in yards—most often fish or athletic plays.
An angler's yarder is a fish big enough to be measured in yards rather than inches: He landed a real yarder, maybe forty inches.
In football, a yarder is a play gaining a specified number of yards: a fifty-yarder, a ten-yard gain.
The word typically appears with a number prefix indicating length.
