There is but one Rope on a boat, that is the one on the ship's bell (if fitted). All others have names i.e. Lines, Sheets, Painter etc. etc.
Hope this starts a thread ;)

Yes and no. Rope is a material. All lines, sheets, painters etc are made of rope, they're not (in nautical speak) ropes as such.
