Answer 3

****, ****, and **** are some good ones.

(fyi, I didn't get censored, I just typed those asterisks)

in your question you state "bow means from", but this is incorrect.  "bow" means "front"

"rode":  together, the chain and rope that make up the anchor line.

"scope":  the ratio of rode length to depth, general rule should be 7:1 in most cases.

"stand-on vessel":  in a crossing situation, the boat that has the right of way;  the stand-on vessel is responsible for maintaining a constant heading and speed unless it signals otherwise.

"give-way vessel":  in a crossing situation, the boat that yields the right of way;  the give-way vessel is responsible for altering speed or heading to avoid a collision.

"hole shot":  acceleration from a standing start to planing mode.
