All other is line (stowed, standing, or running).


Should exclude sheets, halyards, and stays even if they were nylon or hemp,
as these are standing or running rigging. "Line" best used to describe rope
used for mooring, anchoring, and any other securing of items anywhere on the
boat. Including when the bell clapper is tied-off to prevent it's ringing in
heavy seas! ;-)

Cheers,
