At the risk of plagarism Etc Etc
part II
Lanyard
A light line attached to a small article so that it can be secured somewhere well out of reach.
Leeward
The direction in which objects, liquids and other matter may be thrown without risk of re encountering them in the immediate future.
Life jacket
Any personal floatation device that will keep an individual who has fallen off a vessel, above water long enough to be run over by it or another rescue craft.
Mizzen
The shorter aft mast on a yawl or ketch. Any mast that is no longer there.
Moon
Earth’s natural satellite. During periods when it displays a vivid blue colour, sailing conditions are generally favourable.
Motor sailer
A hybrid boat that combines the simplicity and reliability of sail power with the calm and serenity of a throbbing engine.
Ocean racing
Demanding form of sailing practised by sportsman whose idea of a good time is standing under an ice cold shower, fully clothed while re examining there last meal.
Passage
Basically a voyage from point A to point B, interrupted by unexpected landfalls or stopovers at point K, point Q, and point Z.
Pontoon
Harbour landing place that goes crack, crunch when hit
Pilotage
The art of getting lost in sight of land, as opposed to the distinct and far more complex science of navigation used to get lost in offshore waters.
Port
1. Left on a boat.
2. A place you wish you never left on a boat.
Propeller
Underwater winch designed to wind up at high speeds any lines left hanging over the stern.
Radar
Extremely realistic kind of electronic game often found on larger sailboats. Players try to avoid colliding with “blips” which represent other sailboats, large container ships and oil tankers.
Regatta
Organised sailing competition that pits yours against your opponents’ luck.
Sailing
The find art of getting wet and becoming ill while slowly going nowhere at great expense.
Satellite Navigation
Sophisticated electronic location method that enables sailors to instantly determine the exact latitude and longitude, within just a few feet, anywhere on the surface of the surface of the earth, of whatever it was they just ran aground on.
Single handed sailing
The only situation in which the skipper does not immediately blame the crew for every single thing that goes wrong
Tides
The rise and fall of ocean waters. There are two tides of interest to mariners: the ebb tide sailors encounter as they attempt to enter port and the flood tide they experience as they try to leave.
Yardarm
Horizontal spar mounted in such a way that when viewed from the cockpit, the sun is always over it.
The last one is MY favourite !!!!
