When Nautical Terms Need a Translator
from Boating Insights Hosted by Above & Beyond Boating
Boating language can be confusing until you know what it really means — and that can lead to unintended consequences when it matters most. In this episode, Neil explores the quirky world of nautical terminology, from “make fast” and “spring lines” to “all hands on deck” and “pan pan.” We highlight some of the terms most commonly misunderstood, share ways to include simple explanations when using them, and offer ideas to help you set up clear, effective briefings that bridge the gap between what’s said by the skipper and what’s heard by the crew. The course we mentioned in the episode is the Online Skipper Course. Click here to enrol in this course.
