The halyard is used to raise (hail or hal) the yard when setting the sail. A gaff rigged sail has two; a throat halyard to lift the end of the gaff nearer the mast, and a peak halyard to lift the outer end. A more modern triangular (Bermuda or "Marconi") sail has only one halyard which is attached at its uppermost point (the head).

Halyards (and edges) on a gaff rigged sail. In sailing, the peak halyard (or peak for short) is a line that raises the end of a gaff, which is further from the mast, [1] [2] as opposed to the throat halyard that raises the end, which is nearer to the mast.
Halyards (and edges) on a gaff rigged sail. The throat halyard hoists the throat of the sail (the end closer to the mast) at the forward end of the gaff and bears the main weight of the sail and the tension of the luff. [5] The peak halyard lifts the aft end of the gaff and bears the leech tension. Small craft attach the peak halyard to the ...
Halyards (sometimes haulyards), are used to raise sails and control luff tension. In large yachts the halyard returns to the deck but in small racing dinghies the head of the sail is attached by a short line to the head of the mast while the boat is lying on its gunwale.
In sailing, the throat halyard [1] (or throat for short) is a line that raises the end of a gaff nearer to the mast, as opposed to the peak halyard which raises the end further from the mast. Such rigging was normal in classic gaff-rigged schooners and in other ships with fore-and-aft rigging.
The control lines (ropes) on the boom act in conjunction with the halyard and leech line to ensure that the sail is trimmed most effectively. Two primary sail control lines are attached to every boom: The outhaul runs from the clew of the sail to the free end of the boom.
The head of the sail is attached to the spinnaker halyard, which is used to raise the sail. The sheets are passed to either side of the forestay, attached to the clew; they may be passed forward of the luff of the asymmetric, or aft of the luff of the asymmetric, between the tack line and the forestay.
