One thing to note: any rope that is secured to a boat is referred to being a "line"
So, why is a bow line on a dinghy called a painter? ... why is a dinghy called a dinghy? It's just it's given name.
I'm not sure that it is just a given name. Many boat terms have a practical or historical origin. 'Starboard' for instance originated as 'steer board'. Before rudders were invented (why is it called a rudder anyway?) some boats were steered with a board mounted on the side of the boat, usually on the right side, and so the right side of the boat eventually became known as Starboard. The left side was known as 'Leeboard' and was eventually changed to 'Port' because starboard and leeboard sounded too much alike.
So, I was painting my dinghy last week. The 'painter' is attached with a braided loop. I did not want to detach it and have to re-braid it (just laziness) and as a result my 'painter' got paint on it. That is what led me here. I don't know the answer, but just calling it a 'given name' seems perhaps too simplistic.
port, starboard bow and sturn :D
The Painter Line is a rope attached to the bow of a boat, used for tying up, as when docking or towing.In a life raft this is attached to the valve/mouth of CO2 cylinder, when life raft is packed in the container. To inflate the life raft, jerk/pull is given to the painter line.The length of the painter line depends on the height of liferaft stowage position in ship/offshore installation. It is calculated as 15mtr + height of stowage.It is called so - probably from Old French 'pentoir', meaning strong rope, from pendre, to hang... Captain Pratap Mehta, Mumbai
Boats have a pointy bow because of aerodynamics. This let's the boat float while still being able to go fast.
first you have to find a rope and go to the bow and arrow put the rope on it walk on the rope to the tower and done
The Bow is the answer
by a noch that is cut into the arrow
Its called the bow. As in you bow to an audience.
To connect the rope (from the right side of the mill), click on it on your item bag when you are at the giant bow and arrow. This will start an "aiming" process when you click on the bow, until you have made a tightrope over to the Princess tower (to the left).
u try to get cross it with the bow rope.
drop an anchor of the bow
The bay is the water some boats are on. The bow on a boat is the front part.
It is called an ox-bow lake, as it is in the shape of an bow. It is called an ox-bow lake, as it is in the shape of an bow.
