The mast.
Its called a mast. hope i helped :)
On a sailing vessel having more than three mast, the mizzen mast is the third mast immediately aft of the main mast. It is a shorter mast than the foremast. It is often located over the stern of the boat or ship. Correction to the above: a "Yawl" or a "Ketch" has two masts -a mainmast and a mizzen, with the mizzen sometimes located right on the transom at the stern.

A backstay is a a part of the rigging of a sailing ship extending from masthead the top of the mast to the back of the ship.
The rearmost mast on a ship is called the "mizzen mast." In a traditional sailing vessel, the mizzen mast is typically located behind the main mast and is used to support the mizzen sail. This mast plays a crucial role in the vessel's overall rigging and sailing performance.
If a sailing ship has two masts, and the aft is shorter than the fore mast, then the aft mast is called a mizzen mast. And it is in english.
The main mast was the tallest standing object on a sailing ship so the top of the main mast would be the highest point.
The mast located near the bow of a ship is typically called the "foremast." It is the first mast from the front of the vessel and is often used to carry sails that help propel the ship forward. In traditional sailing ships, the foremast is usually shorter than the mainmast, which is located towards the center or rear of the ship.
