A "spat" is a colloquial and informal unit of distance that is primarily used in the context of measurement in certain recreational activities, particularly in sailing and navigation. It is not a scientifically recognized unit of measurement like a meter or a foot, but it often signifies a relatively small distance. The exact length of a spat can vary depending on the context and the community using it.
