uphaul
I think you're looking for the uphaul:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topping_lift
As also mentioned in:
While under sail, the opposite force to the vang is supplied by the sail itself. When the sail is furled, a topping lift supplies the upward force on the boom. Some line vang systems incorporate a piston to provide the topping lift force and to damp oscillations. Hydraulic vangs can inherently act in the topping lift role.

boomkicker
A Boomkicker [1][2] is a modern mechanical device on boats that pushes the boom up by one or more glassfiber rods. If the boom is sheeted in the rods will bend and produce a force upwards.
- In light air, a Boomkicker lifts the boom and opens the leech
- No Topping lift is required when using the Boomkicker
- Reefing is safer and easier with better boom control
- When dropping the main the boom will not hit the deck
- A Boomkicker does not replace the vang but works in close collaboration with the vang
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomkicker
A boom vang (US) or kicking strap (UK) is a line or piston system on a sailboat used to exert downward force on the boom and thus control the shape of the sail. The Collins English Dictionary defines it as "A rope or tackle extended from the boom of a fore-and-aft mainsail to a deck fitting of a vessel when running, in order to keep the boom from riding up".

Selden: rodkicker
Veel grote jachten zijn standaard uitgerust met een boomkicker of rodkicker zoals hij bij Selden heet. Erg handig: 1. Reven, hijsen en strijken van het grootzeil word een stuk gemakkelijker want de giek blijft in de door u ingestelde stand staan.2. Het grootzeil is beter te trimmen.3. De kraanlijn is in principe niet meer nodig.
Met de neerhouder bepaal je de hoogte van de giek.
