What Side Of The Boat Has Best View?


Recommended Posts

Nowhere does a simple rope have more names than on a boat.

 

tied to an anchor it is a RODE

tied to a sail it is a SHEET

tied to a dingy it is a PAINTER

tied to a cleat it is a LINE

tied to pulley it is a HALYARD

tied to the mast and the for/aft of the boat it is a STAY

tied to the mast and the sides of the boat it is a SHOURD

 

Get it right or you will be corrected, but it is still just a rope, and a ship is just a big boat

 

Excellent, new word game :)

 

tied around a neck it can be a LANYARD

OK, I'm in.

 

tied to a tree it is a SWING
