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.

How do you stop your boat riding over the mooring chain?

If you are in a large boat with a motor and you are not sailing to the mooring, put the motor in neutral perhaps a quarter of the boat length before the mooring, so you can glide to the mooring, although this distance may vary. Immediately after someone grabs the mooring, put the engine into reverse. This will cause the tension on the mooring to increase. Once the person has put the mooring on the cleat, cut the engine.If you are in a small boat with no motor, sail to the mooring and grab it. As long as you are pointing into the wind, you should go into irons (facing into the wind when the sail flaps about- you may call it something different), and this should stop any forward movement of your boat and might even push your boat back a bit. Another thing to do once the mooring is in hand is to sail backwards. You can achieve this by pushing the sail out as far as it can go, if possible, a right angle to the mast and bow. Note: When sailing backwards, steering is opposite, so point your rudder towards where you want to go.Also, if your boat has a centerboard, pull it up if you think your boat will run over the mooring chain, so it won't get caught.

Why does rope unwind For example if there are two ropes that are twisted together WHY do they unwind again?

Basic answer is that when twisting two ropes together you are causing tension in the fibers of the ropes as they bend around each other. If you don't secure both ends of the two ropes the tension will pull the ropes back to their relaxed state. Think of stretching out and wrapping a rubber band around your finger.

What are the ropes that support and control the sails of a ship called?

The "ropes" that raise or lower the sails are called HALYARDS and the "ropes" that control the sails are called SHEETS. Halyards are the lines (ropes) that raise sails. Downhauls lower them (note that they are not always included as gravity does usually help out, though they are sometimes necessary). Sheets are used to pull the bottom corner of a sail aft (or towards the "stern" or back of the ship). Tacks pull them forward (ie towards the "bow" or front of the ship). Square sails also have lines that are used to douse (square sails are often "lowered" by pulling them up, and set by letting them fall down as they are attached on the top edge by a long horizontal spar called a yard) or to reef them (decreasing the sail area in cases of heavier wind) These are the buntlines, clewlines, reeflines, and reefing points. The yards that hold square sails up also need to be able to turn, and lines attached at their ends called braces pull either the port or starboard (left or right) end of the yard aft. There are, of course, many more however these are probably the most important.
