Yard or boom, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spar

I believe this is a double definition.

'yard' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'boom say' is the second definition.
(I know that boom is a type of spar)

(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Box; mineral; pole" , "bar" , "Shadow-box" , "Scrap" , "Mast - boom - gaff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
