Nautical Terminology

Hey, I usually call it a "pick" but I weigh it when pulling it up. I agree, its all rode. "Keeling" over instead of heeling, is another.
Though it really irritates me when folks try to speak in nautical terms but haven't taken the time to check out the language, rather repeat what they think others have said, I just ignore it as most folks don't really like being corrected.

Ropes on a sailboat:

1. Bolt Rope
2. Foot Rope
3. Tiller Rope
4. Bell Rope

Just asking, where's the foot rope on your avatar?

Just coming out of winter rig. Another 3 weeks and the topmasts and yards will be up and you will see footropes to your heart's content. lol.

So you have a square rigger? Nice

Sorry, I thought you could tell that from the photo. lol

That's why I asked the location of your "foot rope" in the photo/avatar. Do you often "skylark" on that backstay

Proper terminology

Lol! Yup works just about everywhere and anywhere!
