Jill Morgan Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Took this shot at the lift locks. Its one of those things you would tie your boat to while waiting your turn to go through the lckks. Or mooring for a period of time. Haven't the faintest idea of what the official name for it is. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin P Wilson Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Bollards! Cleats are traditionally horned so that you can tie a figure of eight knot to secure a rope although for small boats and yachts there are specialist cleats for securing control-lines, halyards or sheets (ropes what control the setting of sails ).

Allan Bell Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Could be a "running bollard" which is a guide for the mooring rope tied to a larger bollard a bit further in on the quay. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See http://www.westmarine.com/sailing-cleats for examples The thing is, a lot of searchers won't know the fine points defining a cleat. So include it for the ones who don't.

Ed Rooney Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ah, the outer levels of vocabulary. I once asked Dave Brubeck if he knew the intervals in a Super Locrian mode. He thought about it for a second and then gave me the perfect answer: "My fingers know." http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Super_Locrian_Improv_Jazz_Rock_Fusion_Applications_for_this_Mode_of_the_Melodic_Minor_Scale This mode/scale would be something you would more likely hear Thelonious Monk making use of.

Dyn Llun Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 file:///Users/peted/Desktop/DWY43K.jpg Mooring bollard. Plus all the other names mentioned. Capstan used to be a brand of very strong, un-tipped cigarettes years ago. As if that wasn't bad enough they did a 'full strength' variety too.

Russell Watkins Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's a mooring bollard. Good job there aren't any warps/lines/hawsers/cables/ropes to keyword too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
