Trim

Also called: High trim Β· Low trim Β· Dead (UK)

The set height a flown piece or batten sits at when it's in position. Crews mark it so it lands in the same place every time.

Usage differs: in the US that height is the trim; UK riggers call it the dead, and use trim to mean levelling the piece so it hangs straight.
