Stays and shrouds are mast supports. Shrouds support the mast to the sides of a boat while and a stay supports the mast in a fore and aft direction. More specifically, a forestay attaches to the mast near the top and runs to the bow. A headstay is a forestay, but is usually the highest forestay and runs furthest forward attaching to the bow or bowsprit.
