Oops. Never do crosswords when drunk.

Interesting fact, Fact fans...

 

Clew is ALSO used in sailing as part of the sail (the corner that points to the back of the boat). The clew in rigging and sailing are both similar shapes (a triangle going down on one point to a loop or shackle) and basically do the same thing.

 

That's all for today, tune in next time...

I will say that YOU will find all of the answers to your questions are easily available by using ASK.co.uk and or Google.

Or as a student I would imagine you have fairly easy access to books on the subject.

I now think that Number 1 may be 'Line-Lok' not Lock Off, I found it in an American rigging book.

Number 11 might be 'Rig'
