Rahnock
Die Rahnock ist das jeweilige äußere Ende einer Rah nach Back- und Steuerbord. Hier werden an den Rahen die Brassen angeschlagen und es finden sich die Umlenkrollen
- der Schoten für die jeweils darüber befindlichen Rahsegel bzw.
- der Geitaue für die jeweils darunter befindlichen Rahsegel.
Bei modernen Rahseglern sind in den Rahnocken Elektro- oder Hydraulikmotoren, die das Segel um eine in der Rah quasi als Achse laufende Rolle aufwickeln.

A deckhand working at the Stavros S Niarchos's starboard main-topgallant en:yardarm. He is standing on both the main en:footrope and the en:flemish horse while re-reeving the sheet for the main-royal. The line passing diagonally behind his back is the starboard topgallant lift; the one apparently rising vertically to the top of the picture is in fact the brace pendant, running forwards to the foremast from which the picture was taken.

There would normally be a line (the starboard main-topgallant clewline) running to the yardarm just visible at the bottom of the picture; this is missing because the yard is still being re-rigged after being brought down on deck for maintenance. Note that there is still no sail on the topgallant yard.
