One thing that makes more sense is that back in the day sails were made of 3 yards of cloth and if all three sails were up you were giving it the "whole nine yards."


I heard 9 yards was a full load of cement from a mixer truck. do they hold 9 cubic yards of cement?

Clarification, in the first 60 years of the 20th century, they didn't. (according to the same sources that did the literary search.
