Hello all,
I just took a job on a charter sailboat on a NY Finger Lake, and the captain posed a question for which the reward is a bottle of local wine.
After explaining that all ropes on a sailboat are called
lines, he stopped and corrected himself. He said there are 4 ropes on a sailboat excluding this rule of thumb. My question is if any of you veterans know what they are.
We are currently working on a schooner, although I'm unsure if these ropes are exclusive to schooners. Any ideas?
Thanks,
