Lines

Just like photography, sailing has a whole set of nomenclature that is completely foreign to the outsider. My husband has been sailing since he was about 2 years old, and I had never been on a sailboat until we started dating, so I had some catching up to do vocabulary wise. One of the hardest things for me to get used to was calling ropes “lines”. Apparently, you really show how little you know about sailing if you call them ropes.
Nice selective color. I will remember, if ever in a conversation with sailing people, to call them lines. :-)

That is correct and I have to say, not many lines are purple. But gives it a great color pop.
