Dutch term or phrase: trekstang
Context: "Afgelopen weekend is tijdens het zeilen de >>trekstang<< van de wantputting aan de bakboordzijde gebroken. Dhr. XX reageerde echter zeer snel door overstag te gaan en heeft daarmee de mast kunnen redden. Het dek is wel beschadigd en heeft nu veel haarscheuren."

Ik vind vele verschillende vertalingen voor 'trekstang' maar aangezien ik weinig kennis van de materie heb, weet ik niet welke ik moet hebben. IATE e.a. geven o.a. "tie-rod", "anchoring rod", "tie bolt", "drawbar". Weet iemand wat de juiste term hier is?

"In reality, this ideal is rarely accomplished for a number of reasons. First of all, if the mast is not tied to the deck or the deck tied to the keel near the mast, either with a tie rod or with a tie from the mast to the deck and a connection from the mast to the keel, the downward force of the mast working in opposition to the upward loads of the shrouds can pull the hull together like a bow and arrow lifting the deck and separating the joint between bulkheads and the deck. You sometimes see this type of separated bulkheads on inexpensive or early fiberglass boats with keel stepped masts. "

"All Parker Mark 2 boats should have a deck tie rod going from the mast heel to the deck to prevent the deck lifting under load."
