Quiz on Nautical Terms
Give your ego a boost.

Google this title: "Factacular Nautical Terms" and go to it. (Sorry, I'm not yet allowed to insert a direct hyperlink because I don't have a long history with this Sailnet Web site.) Once there, hit the question mark.

It's an interactive, timed quiz. Most questions are simple; one or two are not.

Have Fun!

The quiz is located HERE.

Unfortunately, there are errors in the quiz. One of the terms they have is CLOVIS PIN, which doesn't mean anything, since the part is called a CLEVIS PIN.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
