Meaning of jackstay search | Babel Free
Definitions
An underwater search conducted by divers who follow a guide rope, each time they reach an end of the rope moving that end in a set direction; the divers may start together or from opposite ends of the rope.
Examples
“To some extent the grid search⟳ has superseded the jackstay search⟳ in open⟳ water, since the latter requires many more ropes to be laid on the seabed. For a detailed search⟳ of a small area, however, the jackstay search⟳ has much to commend it.”
