Am I the only one getting confused with all
the bow parts?
Sometimes it seems like
I'm reading about the top deck of the bow, othertimes the
front (prow?) of the bow, or the angle of the bow when seen from
above, and maybe it all started with the curved portion (or angled or
whatever) part that cuts through the water and connects back to the bottom
of the hull..
Are there nautical terms that exactly describe
the different parts of a bow?

For mooring bows to, I would use the boom (on a schooner) as a hand rail.
