Quick Tip #3: Did you know that boats can swing at different speeds and in different directions when at anchored or moored? Your swing room is the safe area around your boat where your boat can freely swing around the anchor and not hit anything. Make sure you have enough room to let your boat dance freely! 😂⛵💃 #24daysoftips #swingroom #anchoringtips #sailnelsonbc #avoidtherocks #learntosail #runningagroundisbadforyourboat

Did you know? First rate - Implies excellence. From the 16th century on until steam powered ships took over, British naval ships were rated as to the number of heavy cannon they carried. A ship of 100 or more guns was a First Rate line-of-battle ship. Second rates carried 90 to 98 guns; Third Rates, 64 to 89 guns; Fourth Rates, 50 to 60 guns. Frigates carrying 20 to 48 guns were fifth and sixth rated.

Penny' Knot of the Week! Rolling Hitch! This one is one of my favourites and I have actually used it several times for winch overrides. It can be tied quickly on another line (ie jib sheet) to help pull and remove tension. Instead of cutting the sheet, this knot can be used to provide the slack needed to untangle everything. Be sure to check it out @animatedknots #sailnelsonbc #weeklyknots #WWS #wwteach #learntosail #practicemakesperfect❤️

Did you know? Fits the bill - A Bill of Lading was signed by the ship’s master acknowledging receipt of specified goods and the promise to deliver them to their destination in the same condition. Upon delivery, the goods were checked against the bill to see if all was in order. If so, they fit the bill.

Did you know? Groggy - In 1740, British Admiral Vernon (whose nickname was “Old Grogram” for the cloak of grogram which he wore) ordered that the sailors’ daily ration of rum be diluted with water. The men called the mixture “grog”. A sailor who drank too much grog was “groggy”.

Did you know? Hand over fist - Hand over hand was

Did you know? Hand over fist - Hand over hand was a British term for the act of moving quickly up a rope or hoisting a sail, which was a matter of pride and competition among sailors. It is thought that American sailors changed this term to ‘hand over fist’, and the term now means to advance or accumulate rapidly.
