Sail pole (4)

I believe the answer is:

spar

(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Raps with large beam" , "Raps with large timber" , "Box gently; main beam of aircraft wing" , "Pole to support sails, rigging etc" , "Box for practice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
