Horn cleat
n nautical contexts, a cleat is a device for securing a rope.[2]
Types of cleat designs include the following:
A horn cleat is the traditional design, featuring two “horns” extending parallel to the deck or the axis of the spar, attached to a flat surface or a spar, and resembling an anvil.
A line tied to a horn cleat [1] on a dock. The line comes from a boat off the top of the picture, around the right horn, around the left horn, across the cleat from top left to bottom right, around the right horn, and then hitches around the left horn. Note that this line is tied improperly; the line from the boat should initially run to the far (left) side of the horn cleat rather than close (right) side.

mooring
A mooring refers to any permanent structure to which a vessel may be secured. Examples include quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water. An anchor mooring fixes a vessel’s position relative to a point on the bottom of a waterway without connecting the vessel to shore. As a verb, mooring refers to the act of attaching a vessel to a mooring.[1]

The key to docking or mooring is slowing down at a controlled rate before you get there.
The key to docking or mooring is slowing down at a controlled rate before you get there. You slow down by luffing the sails (see Chapter 5) and letting
the boat glide to a stop. The trick is knowing when to start luffing so that you keep enough steerageway to reach the dock without having so much speed that the phrase “ramming speed” becomes applicable.

Walk the mooring line back along the windward side to shoot the boat forward

Steerage and steerage way[edit]
The rudder of a vessel can steer the ship only when water is passing over it. Hence, when a ship is not moving relative to the water it is in or cannot move its rudder, it does not respond to the helm and is said to have “lost steerage.” (prarado valdymą) The motion of a ship through the water is known as “making way.” When a vessel is moving fast enough through the water that it turns in response to the helm, it is said to have “steerage way.”[1] That is why boats on rivers must always be under propulsion, even when traveling downstream.

directly into the wind
Sailboats have one major limitation. They can’t sail directly into the wind.
The area directly into the wind that a sailboat cannot sail is called the no-go zone. The 14.2′ Catalina Capris that you will sail in this class have a no-go zone about 45° on either side of the wind. Some boats have a wider no-go zone, and some have a slightly smaller no-go zone.

In sailing, the wind is always labeled by the direction it comes from.
For example, we call a wind blowing from west to east a west wind. A wind blowing from south to north, is called a south wind.
