Exempel på hur man kan använda CLEW i en mening

• On a square sail or a spinnaker, the tack is the windward clew (lower corner) and also the line holding down that corner; when the vessel changes course to have the other vertical edge of the sail to the wind, the other clew becomes the tack.
• The sheet of a sail is attached to a traveller on the horse, allowing the sail's clew to be positioned to leeward on each tack, thereby giving a more aerodynamically efficient position of the sail.
• The rig consists of a triangular sail set aft of the mast with its mainsail raised to the top of the mast; its luff runs down the mast and is normally attached to it for its entire length; its tack is attached at the base of the mast; its foot (in modern versions of the rig) controlled by a boom; and its clew attached to the aft end of the boom, which is controlled by its sheet.
• Modern loose footed sails are cut so that the outhaul is also able to pull the clew downwards towards the boom.
• Because a spinnaker has two clews, there is always a second line identical to the afterguy attached to the leeward clew of the spinnaker.
• Slab or jiffy reefing allows for the quick establishment of a new tack and clew, while the halyard is partially lowered and then raised.
• This theme is reflected in several song titles: "Ariadne" (the legendary Ariadne giving her clew to Theseus); "Towards the Within" (of the Labyrinth, the Minotaur being at the centre); "The Spider's Stratagem" (waiting at the centre of her web like the Minotaur waiting at the centre of the Labyrinth—but also a Bertolucci film adapting a Borges short story from Labyrinths): and "Emmeleia" (the Greek dance of tragedy).
• Alternatively, longer gaskets - particularly the clew gaskets described below - can be secured using a gasket coil.
• The head of the ringtail is hoisted to the top of the topmast, and the clew is sheeted down to the end of the boom of the working sail.
