What does RERIG mean in Scrabble?
verb
nautical
To rig a ship, boat or piece of equipment again, especially by replacing or reconfiguring its ropes, cables or sails.
Boatbuilders and sailors use this verb when the ropes, masts or sails of a vessel need to be set up afresh, whether after storm damage, a restoration project, or a decision to change the type of craft entirely, such as turning a sloop into a schooner. The same idea extends to any structure that depends on rigging, including stage sets, cranes and climbing equipment, wherever cables or lines need to be strung anew. A shipyard team might spend weeks working to rerig a large historic vessel before it can safely sail again.
