Difference between Rope and Running rigging

Rope vs. Running rigging

A rope is a group of yarns, plies, fibers or strands that are twisted or braided together into a larger and stronger form. Running rigging is the rigging of a sailing vessel that is used for raising, lowering, shaping and controlling the sails on a sailing vessel—as opposed to the standing rigging, which supports the mast and bowsprit.

Similarities between Rope and Running rigging

Rope and Running rigging have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Halyard, Rigging, Sail, Sheet (sailing), Technora, Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, Vectran, Wire rope.

Halyard

In sailing, a halyard or halliard is a line (rope) that is used to hoist a ladder, sail, flag or yard.

Rigging

Rigging comprises the system of ropes, cables and chains, which support a sailing ship or sail boat's masts—standing rigging, including shrouds and stays—and which adjust the position of the vessel's sails and spars to which they are attached—the running rigging, including halyards, braces, sheets and vangs.

Sail

A sail is a tensile structure—made from fabric or other membrane materials—that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including sailing ships, sailboats, windsurfers, ice boats, and even sail-powered land vehicles.
