polacre Explanation: I think this may be it. It seems quite a useful glossary in any case. Good luck! Sheila Polacra. Sailing ship with a hull very similar to the Jabeque, having two pole masts, without either top masts nor crosstrees, and with the same sails as the bergantines, although with the advantage over these of having the upper sails at a lower height thus helping to protect the lower sails and and making them easier to furl. Some Goletas have a main mast, and they are called Polacras-Goletas. Some Polacras have three masts. The English term is "Polacre.
