Glossary of Nautical Terms
Summary: A glossary of nautical and sailing terms found in our website. You may want to check out our Selected Books section under the Learn Sailing and Tactics category for books covering much or all of the information below.
|
To avoid re-inventing the wheel, and since there are lots of other good sites with nautical definitions out there, we've borrowed from and linked to many of them.
Definitions without linked references were written by us.
“Here Be Dragons”
An ancient phrase used by mapmakers to denote unexplored territories. It is also
the name of Dave’s second boat.
“Douse the jib”
An expression often used referring to dropping or furling the
jib or forward triangular sail.
4 Sisters
Coal-fired hydro facility in Mississauga which was a landmark on
Lake Ontario.
Accidental jibe
An accidental jibe happens when the boat is steered or the wind shifts such that
the stern of the boat accidentally passes through the eye of the wind. This
causes that main boom to swing violently to the other side of the boat. Without
proper preparation when jibing, the force of the boom's motion can be
destructive, injuring the crew and damaging equipment. In strong winds and on
large boats this force can dismast the boat and seriously injure crew members
hit by the boom. Sometimes a preventer is used to reduce the possibility of an
accidental jibe.

Aft
Towards, at, or near the stern
or back of the vessel.
Amidships
The center portion of the boat, near the centerline.
Anchor
A heavy object used to fix the the boat to the seabed. Anchors can be permanently installed in the seabed as in a permanent mooring, or can be carried with the boat and deployed when needed. They are commonly made of steel, but lightweight aluminum alloys are also used, as are large concrete block for permanent moorings.
Backed-jib
A condition where the jib sheet is made fast on the windward side
of the boat rather than the leeward side. This sometimes happens accidentally,
but is often used to “heave-to” or to help turn the boat quickly using the force
of the wind on the sail to push the bow around.
Backstay
A piece of standing rigging, commonly stainless steel wire, running from the masthead to the deck at or towards the stern of the vessel.
Belay
To attach a line to a
cleat, belaying pin, or other fixed object.

(1) A place for a person to sleep.
(2) A place where the ship can be secured.
(3) A safe and cautious distance, such as "We gave the shark a wide
berth."

the course or speed changes, the new course, speed, and time should be noted.
Periodically, the navigator calculates the boat’s DR (dead reckoning) position
and marks it on the chart.
Dead run
Sailing directly downwind with the sails out (the jib is sometimes
held out with a pole) to either side of the boat. This is also called sailing
wing-on-wing.
Deck

the stove, which is usually set up in a fixed fore/aft position but is able to
swing freely as the boat heals to port or starboard so that pots on the stove
stay level.
GPS
An acronym for: Global Positioning System. It is a method to determine
geographical coordinates and local time coordinates on Earth using calibrating
signals from a network of satellites. ...

vessel’s buoyancy.
Jacklines
Strong lines, commonly of stainless steel cable or nylon webbing,
run along each side of the boat from bow to stern, used by sailors wearing

prevent a person from falling overboard, and if a person does fall overboard,
they help ensure they stay tethered to the boat to make rescue easier.
Jib
A jib is a triangular staysail set ahead of the foremost mast of a sailing
boat. Its tack is fixed to the bowsprit, to the bow, or to the deck between the
bowsprit and the foremost mast. Jibs and spinnakers are the two main types of
headsails on a modern yacht.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jib
Jibe
The act of moving the sails from one side of the boat to the other by bringing the stern of the boat through the wind so that the wind strikes it on the opposite side. This can also be done manually when running directly down wind – the sails are just pulled by hand to the other side.

ballast to provide upright stability and prevent side-slipping by countering the
lateral force of the wind.
www.sailorschoice.com/Terms/sctermsletterk.htm
Keep on
The “Keep on” or “Stand on” vessel is the one, when two vessels are
approaching each other, that is “privileged” or has the right to maintain its
course according to the rules of the road. Of course, if the other vessel
involved does not alter course, the “Keep on”/privileged vessel is obligated to
take early and decisive action to avoid a collision.
Ketch

latitude circle the earth horizontally and are parallel to one another. One
minute of latitude equals one nautical mile.
www.fugawi.com/web/support/glossary.htm
Lee
The part of a vessel or body that the wind strikes last. On a body of water, the wind strikes the windward side first, crosses the water, and then strikes the leeward side. The Lee shore is the one upon which the wind and waves act most strongly. Therefore being near a lee shore during a storm can be very dangerous - the waves are largest there and the wind is pushing you towards the shore.
Conversely being "in the
lee" or "to the lee" of something means to be on the side of the object that is
protected by the wind.
Leech
The aft or trailing edge of a fore-and-aft sail; the leeward edge of a
spinnaker; a vertical edge of a square sail. The leech is susceptible to twist,
which is controlled by the boom vang and mainsheet.

Rigging
The wires, lines, halyards and other items used to attach the sails
and the spars to the boat. The lines that do not have to be adjusted often are
known as standing rigging. The lines that are adjusted to raise, lower and trim
the sails are known as running rigging.
www.terrax.org/sailing/glossary/gr.aspx
Roller-furler
Similar to a roller reefer in function except that a system that
furls only, can deploy a sail fully, or roll it up fully, but doesn’t operate
with the sail partially deployed or reefed. The terms are mostly interchangeable
these days though, as just about every unit sold now can act as a reefer.
Roller-reefer
Sometimes referred to as roller-furler. Used to roll a sail on a
wire attached to a mast. The sail is rolled and unrolled from the pilot house,
requiring less work from the captain or crew; the sail does not have to be put
on and taken off each time it is required. Rolling the sail does limit the
ability to reef the sails somewhat in that the shape of a partially rolled sail
becomes less efficient.
Rudder

used by yachtsmen to describe the lounging area aboard a small boat. Usually is
equipped with dining table and settee berths.
www.sdmaritime.com/contentpage.asp
Dave: People also commonly use the term "salon" as a synonym. Personally, I think
of a salon as a place where women go to get their hair and nails done – thus my boat only
has a saloon!
Sea cock
A through hull valve, a shut off on a plumbing or drain pipe between
the vessel's interior and the sea.
www.portofeverett.com/home/index.asp
Sheet
In sailing, a sheet is a line (rope, cable or chain) used to control the

allowing a hose or pipe to be attached to it inside the boat. These are used for
engine water intakes, sink drains, bilge pump outlets, etc.
Tiller
An arm attached to the top of the rudder to steer a small boat. If the
helmsman wants to steer to starboard he pushes the tiller to port. Larger boats
usually use a wheel instead of a tiller.
