Brass hat, английский
Slang term for a senior officer (entitled to wear gold braid on the cap). collectively “the brass.”
Braided line, английский
- This type of line does not stretch to the degree that twisted rope does, and is more difficult to splice. however, it goes through a pulley or block very well because of its rounded shape, and is stronger than equivalent sized twisted line. however, it tends to snag when used as docking line if the pilings are rough. several types are available: • hollow braid has no core. it is very flexible but can flatten during use and is only found in small sized rope. • braid on braid has a braided core inside a braided sheath. it will stretch less, and has less flexibility, than a hollow braid. • multibraid is braided with 2 pairs of z-laid and two pairs of s-laid strands. it is flexible and does not kink. • parallel core has a braided sheath over a core of straight or lightly twisted yarns. it is very strong.
- Multiple-strand fishing line. stronger than monofilament, but has less stretch. often used when fishing sharp, craggy reefs.
