🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of an off-shore bow line and what part of the ship it leads from and to • Where chafing is most likely when a line leads forward from the bow to a point offshore • Basic parts of a ship: bow, stern, stem, keel and their locations/orientations

💭 Think About

• Visualize the vessel from above: if you run a line from the bow out to a buoy or anchor offshore, which edges or corners of the hull might the line rub against? • Think about how a line coming off the bow at an angle would lie relative to the ship’s centerline—would it touch the deck, stern, stem, or keel as it goes over the side? • Which of the listed parts is actually at the forward-most vertical edge of the vessel’s hull, where a bow line might bear?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what the stem is in ship terminology and where it is located relative to the bow. • Verify which parts listed (deck, stern, stem, keel) a bow line would realistically touch when it is led outboard and forward to an offshore point. • Ensure you’re thinking three-dimensionally: where the line exits the chock or fairlead and what sharp edge or corner it might chafe on as the ship moves.
