boxing
A standard boxing ring typically has four ropes, one along each side. These ropes are used to define the boundaries of the ring and to provide support for the boxers during the match. The ropes are usually made of durable material and are spaced to allow for safety while still enabling the fighters to maneuver effectively.
rope lines
The small ropes used to pull in mooring ropes are called "towing lines" or "mooring lines." These lines help manage and secure the larger mooring ropes, facilitating the docking and undocking of vessels. They are often used to adjust the position of the boat relative to the dock or other boats.
"On the ropes" is a colloquial term passed from boxing competitions, where a contestant was groggy, and holding onto the ropes round the ring for support. The implication is of being overcome, of weakness and distress.
Stays, lines, ropes and halyards.
Sorry, there are NO ropes on a boat, only LINES. There may be, however, lines with the word "rope" in their names, such as the "bellrope".
