Russ:
I too like to use the appropriate nautical term. When we put the
standing rigging together for the first time after purchasing the boat,
we discovered the top 'aluminum 'through-bolt, 'stud' or 'tie bar' as
the rigger from North Sails called it was approx. half worn through by
the wire
Russ:
No worries mate.no offense taken! I am probably just as punctilious
as you are!
And while you have done a commendable job nudging me back to the
terminology 'through bolt' , I will probably continue to reference this
piece of rigging as a 'tie bar'.
From Merriam Webster's:
A little term bitchin' here.
The threaded thingy that goes inside the mast to hold the tangs tight
is a called through-bolt (even though in most cases it is a stud) not
a tie-bar. And it goes inside a compression tube so it can be
properly tightened without deflecting the mast sides towards e
That’s OK Russ,
We don’t mind. You’re our sweetest old "fuddy duddy” and a very helpful sailor!

Thanks Russ, I think I represent the "younger" (I have grey!) generation of
sailors on this list and I'm happy to be corrected. Using the right words
for things on a sailboat is pretty important .. especially the "go parts",
and especially when you're underway!

Rob,
I can understand your confusion with a term you are comfortable using
as it was provided by a rigger you trust. My intention is not to
belittle you or anybody else but to point out to everybody when I see
little things start to get outta place. My assumed role is to nudge
them back to go
Russ,
So calling a halyard an "uppy downy" line and a sheet an "inny outy" line
doesn't work? :)

As in, pull the red "inny outy" on the left side.

Don't have any as good as those. They were used by a friend to tell his
wife what to do. She couldn't grasp any nautical terms whatsoever.
One of my favorites was coined by a lister, Wally. One many older C&C's
