Does "twing" have a meaning as in where did the name come from? I see it is what you use to hold down cargo in a space ship but that is all I could fine. I was told by a friend who first suggested it as the name for this jib sheet downhaul that it was adapted from a non sailing term. There is a tent called Twing but I think that stands for T-Wing as they also have an F-Wing.
