A lateen-sail is a triangular sail extended on a yard which is slung one quarter from the lower end to a mast, and rigged in such a way that the upper end is raised in the air, and the lower end is brought down to form the tack. The word is merely a corruption of "latin," and the rig is mainly used in the Mediterranean and on sailing canoes and small boats.
