Equipos usados en cubierta para maniobras

Chocks: These are fixtures that hold a line rather than using it as a tie
point. It is found near a cleat and keeps the line in position so it does not
move laterally and chafe or abrade. They are flattened loops that have a
narrow opening at the top to accept and remove the line. Like cleats,
these come in all sizes but are usually found aboard vessels and not on
docks.

Bits: are mostly found on vessels near the bow and stern, they appear
infrequently on docks but it isnt unheard of if there is a need to use
something taller than a cleat in order to accept large diameter lines.

Bollards: These are the things that look like short metal mushrooms.
You can find them on docks and large ships and almost never on smaller
vessels. They are made for a loop of line that is placed over the top and
the slack is taken up on the other end to make the line tight.

Cleats: These are fixtures found on docks and vessels. They are shaped
like a very wide and short capital letter T, used to secure a rope.
Closed types have a solid base while open types have two closely
spaced legs in the center. A line with a loop on the end can be passed
through the legs and secured over the horns which is the name of the
horizontal piece of the cleat.

An anchor windlass is a machine that restrains and manipulates the

anchor chain on a boat, allowing the anchor to be raised and lowered by
means of chain cable.
The wheels on either a vertical or horizontal windlass provide for either
chain or line to be engaged. The wheel for line is termed a warping
head, while the chain handling wheel is variously referred to as the
gypsy (in the UK) or wildcat (in North America).

Roller chock: gua con una polea para evitar el roce de cuerdas.

Pad eye: an eye located on deck which is used for fastening cables or
on the hull for hanging tires or an attachment for hanging a block and
fall for lifting the propeller or rudder.
