The only rope on a boat is its Bell Rope
The mariners choice,The Bowline.
Making a Bowline
Knots to choose from
Yachts have many lines,'getting to know the ropes' is a very old term given to how a new person learns the various tasks on board but in effect a sailing yacht or boat only has one rope,thats the Bell Rope that is used for signaling when its foggy or for recording the ships time.The rest of the lines on the boat may be called,Sheets,Runners,Halyards,Topping Lift,Vang,Spring,Stern and Bow line,the list goes on but there is still only one rope!
