Definition of flemish horse in English English dictionary

(Denizcilik) A flemish horse is a footrope on a square rigged sailing ship that is found at the extreme outer end of the yard. The main footrope runs along the whole length of the yard, but because of its length the angle upwards to where it is attached is quite shallow, and thus it is too high to stand on for some distance inwards. Sailors on this part of the yard stand on the flemish horse instead, which being shorter hangs down more and hence is low enough to stand on
