Any vertical structure like a mast is subject to dynamic swaying stress from wind, which levers immense force at the base of the mast. The Crosstree serves as a fresh base to spread the next level of supporting ropes, thereby providing a stable height extension to the masts. Without the crosstree, the ship's mast would have been severely limited in height, in relation to the width (beam) of the ship. The crosstree also serves to spread the shroud tops.
