VOCABULARY
The word "rope is the generic term for any line on a boat. Yet the words
rope and
line" are almost never used.
Each rope has its own name, according to its place and purpose on board. A mooring
or a hawser
serve to moor the boat, and a halyard
is for raising a sail. A sheet
adjusts the sail angle. On the boom you’ll find the topping lifts
and the boom vang.
When making a knot, we distinguish between "running and
standing." Running refers to the part of the rope you manipulate to tie the knot, and standing refers to the part that remains unmoving.
By folding a rope in two, you form a bight.
If the strands cross, it becomes a loop.
Below are the basic forms:
• Simple knot.
• Round turn, which refers to wrapping the line around a support.
