Is this a trick question?
One, the rest are refered to as lines.
EDIT
I am refering to the bell rope, but I just though maybe the "tow rope" could be one.
EDIT AGAIN
OH CRAP
I just thought of some more, tiller rope, bolt rope, and a foot rope. I think that's it.

Ropes On A Ship

When I was young in the 1950s there was a TV show called The $64,000.00 Question. In one epasode they had a very old sea captain on and asked him the $64,000.00 question of how many ropes were on a sailing ship. I was laying on the living room floor watching the show on our10" TV screen with my Mom & Dad. Having had my nose buried in Chapmans "Piloting, Seamanship & Small Boat Handling" (pub. probably in the late 40's or early 50's) every chance I had, I answered that there were nine ropes on a sailing ship and named them. When the captain answered that there were nine ropes and he named the same ropes he won the $64,000.00. I have since forgotten several of them but recently learned that they can be found on page 77 of a book entitled "First Voyage" by Frank Worsley which was written in 1938.
I can remember Bell Rope, Man Rope, Foot Rope, Bolt Rope.

There is only one rope on a sail boat. It is the lanyard attached to the clapper of the ships bell. All other functional ropes are referred to as lines. Things with names like "Bolt Rope, Tiller Rope, Foot Rope" are integral components of other pieces and may not be made of rope at all. They are still referred to as lines.

Hi there
Is this a trick question?? The only "rope" on a boat is the rope attached to the ball under the bell that I know of. hope this is what you are looking for.

If they are the ones with the wooden steps they were called Jacobs ladders. They ones that were just line (there are no ropes on a ships they are called lines) are called rat lines.

They are called cargo nets. Jacobs ladders do have wooden steps on them and are used to board ships at sea to this day.
