What is a painter line and stowage height?
The Painter Line is a rope attached to the bow of a boat, used for tying up, as when docking or towing.In a life raft this is attached to the valve/mouth of CO2 cylinder, when life raft is packed in the container. To inflate the life raft, jerk/pull is given to the painter line.The length of the painter line depends on the height of liferaft stowage position in ship/offshore installation. It is calculated as 15mtr + height of stowage.It is called so - probably from Old French 'pentoir', meaning strong rope, from pendre, to hang... Captain Pratap Mehta, Mumbai
Why is a boats bow rope called a painter?
One thing to note: any rope that is secured to a boat is referred to being a "line" So, why is a bow line on a dinghy called a painter? ... why is a dinghy called a dinghy? It's just it's given name. I'm not sure that it is just a given name. Many boat terms have a practical or historical origin. 'Starboard' for instance originated as 'steer board'. Before rudders were invented (why is it called a rudder anyway?) some boats were steered with a board mounted on the side of the boat, usually on the right side, and so the right side of the boat eventually became known as Starboard. The left side was known as 'Leeboard' and was eventually changed to 'Port' because starboard and leeboard sounded too much alike. So, I was painting my dinghy last week. The 'painter' is attached with a braided loop. I did not want to detach it and have to re-braid it (just laziness) and as a result my 'painter' got paint on it. That is what led me here. I don't know the answer, but just calling it a 'given name' seems perhaps too simplistic.
What is a rope used to hoist a sail called?
Once a rope on a boat/ship has an assigned duty, it is a line: hence the trick question of how many ropes are there on a boat -there are none, because they are all called lines. The line you are referring to is generally called a halyard. This term derives from "Haul Yards" as in hauling yards of canvas aloft.
