foyv.

/fɔɪ/

Etymology: ‘Mr. G. H. Haswell informs us that on the north-east coast (especially at Shields), a foy-boat was a small boat used (before the introduction of steam-tugs) to tow vessels in and out of harbour. The boat carried a small anchor or “kedge”, and was rowed a certain distance ahead of the vessel being towed; the kedge was then dropped, and the men on the ship “hove upon” the kedge with a windlass until the vessel came over it, when the kedge was taken up and the process repeated. The operation was called foying, and the men employed foy-men. (See The Maister: a Century of Tyneside Life, p. 39.)’ ( N.E.D. Addenda).
