pile mooring, pier mooring, dock mooring Explanation: I think the trappa in your mooring connects the mooring to the pier to the boat so that the boat cannot swing around the mooring with the wind and tide but maintains a fixed position relative to the shore. On the swing mooring the rope has only two fixed points: underwater at the mooring, and on the boat, so it swings in a circle with the mooring in the center. See this picture, and others in Google under prmeggio con trappa, all of which have a dock.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/2_BxrV8zW2KcLJhnYn7n...

I don't know the official EN name - in my family we made up our own names for things on the boat if necessary. The Wiki author says they are using "pile" generically to mean a fixed point on land. But I'm sure the swing mooring with the two point attachment is opposite, in principle, to the three-point attachment such as the Med trappa. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-06-12 08:42:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've never heard it. It's probably not clear enough for everyone. I see what he means, but only because there's a picture. It may be Australian. I'm US (Atlantic). Again, we may be in the realm of words invented within a family at sea. My family would call the underwater lazy rope a mooring line, but in your context that's too imprecise. Then we would have four crossed ropes alongside the length of the boat, a pair on each side, called "spring lines" but only because they keep the moored boat centered by tightening or loosening like springs as the boat drifts from one side to the other. That also may be an inappropriate term for your situation. |
