Could Dreep just be a Scottish variation of Drip, weed, namby-pamby?

Yes, a DREEP is an 'ineffective, spiritless or lugubrious person'.

Sorry for lateness, but can anyone help with the parsing of 18ac? I see the part of sail but not risk.

I think maybe a reef is the "risk part" of a sail (as in voyage)
