Shroud lines
Appearance
In parachuting, the term shroud lines is an old name for suspension lines. Such lines are thin cords which attach the canopy to the risers.[1]
On sailboats, shrouds are used as standing rigging to keep a mast vertical.
On biplanes and triplanes, shrouds are used as the thin wire bracing between the wings.
