If the anchor is used to immobilize the boat at anchor, here are 10 words of vocabulary to understand the key points of the anchoring equipment:
- Spout pointed end of an anchor. Part which comes to be pricked in the bottom.
- Cable rope: rope used for the anchor line. It makes it possible to lengthen the anchor without making it too heavy. Made of slightly elastic rope, it helps to absorb jolts.
- Channel the anchor chain used in boating is a straight link chain made of galvanized steel or stainless steel.
- Diamond point at the lower end of the penis. Point of attachment of a penis.
- Swivel rotating part to be installed between the anchor and the chain to avoid hulls.
- Headliner mooring between the end of the mooring line and the boat. A rope is often used to make this attachment. In case of extreme urgency, this rope is cut to free oneself from the mooring, which then leaves through the foundation
- Jas crossbar: a crossbar used to position the anchor so that one of the legs rests on the bottom for safe hooking.
- Anchorage anchor line: here we refer to the anchor line which includes the anchor, the chain and the rope. This concept also includes all the connection points that link these components.
- Ear the protruding part of the legs of an anchor. The ears are found on old anchors with jas. They no longer appear on modern anchors.
- Organeau ring (or hole in the anchor) to which the chain or rope is attached.
- Orin rope: Rope connecting the anchor to a float. It is struck on the anchor's diamond and is used to raise the anchor without using the chain. It is very useful to free an anchor stuck in the rocks.
- Shovel anchors : Often two in number, these are the blades of the anchor that are planted in the bottom.
- Soc we speak of plowshares on plow-type anchors in reference to the same plowshare used by ploughmen.
- Verge the stem of an anchor that connects the legs to the organ. It can be fixed or articulated depending on the model of the anchor.
