Chapter 1 - Nautical Terms Explained<BR><BR>
A boat is a bit like a floating box. It had a top and a bottom, four sides an inside and an out. For some reason these everyday terms do not work for those who sail the seas, who like to surround the ship with a kind of mystical jargon that landlubbers cannot comprehend. Before you can build or repair a boat you need to know what they are talking about, so here are some basic definitions.<BR><BR>
1. STERN - this means 'back'. In most vessels this is the side opposite the pointy bit. A skiff however has two pointy bits so you can only decide which the ?stern? is when it is moving. Usually the stern will be that bit closer to where the skiff has just been than to where it is going. The term used to refer to something towards the stern is AFT.<BR><BR>
2. PROW - this is the 'front' or pointy bit (except for a skiff, see above). On large vessels the prow is often carved in the likeness of an animal or human figure. Women and mermaids are very popular and are usually shown from the waist up with very large attributes. If constructing a small boat it is best to avoid these fantasies. The additional weight of these 'points of interest' will cause your vessel to point straight at the bottom of the sea. The term used for towards the prow is ?FORRAD?. <BR><BR>
3. PORT - left. This is undeniably confusing and must not be muddled up with the several definitions used in nautical parlance. It is not the Breton word for 'door'; it does not refer to an exotic wine and it is not a place in which a sailor has a girl. It means if you stand facing the pointy bit (or the way it is going if a skiff) it is the side of the ship to your left. Remember left and port have the same number of letters.
<BR><BR>
4. STARBOARD - right. So-called because in days of yore steering was done by a paddle at this side of a ship and meaning 'steer-side'.<BR><BR>
5. PAINTER - a rope for fastening a boat. This has nothing to do with the many artists who have painted the sea and ships. It should also be observed that a LAZY painter is not an idle artist but such a rope used in fine weather only.
<BR><BR>TAFFRAIL - a rail round the stern of the ship. Contrary to popular rumour it is not used exclusively to prop up drunks from the distant province of Gwalia.<BR><BR>The book continues with further definitions before discussing the art of boatbuilding.
