WHAT DOES OUTRIGGER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

outrigger

Outrigger

An outrigger is a part of a boat's rigging which is rigid and extends beyond the side or gunwale of a boat. In an outrigger canoe and in sailboats such as the proa, an outrigger is a thin, long, solid, hull used to stabilise an inherently unstable main hull. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and parallel to the main hull so that the main hull is less likely to capsize. If only one outrigger is used on a vessel, its weight reduces the tendency to capsize in one direction and its buoyancy reduces the tendency in the other direction.

Definition of outrigger in the English dictionary

The first definition of outrigger in the dictionary is a framework for supporting a pontoon outside and parallel to the hull of a boat to provide stability. Other definition of outrigger is a boat equipped with such a framework, esp one of the canoes of the South Pacific. Outrigger is also any projecting framework attached to a boat, aircraft, building, etc, to act as a support.
