Rope; man (3)

I believe the answer is:

guy

I believe this is a double definition.

'rope' is the first definition.
(I know that Guy is a type of rigging)

'man' is the second definition.
(I know that guy is a type of man)

(Other definitions for guy that I've seen before include "Mr Fawkes" , "Bonfire night effigy" , "Bloke" , "One burned on Nov. fifth" , "Man; effigy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
