line Explanation: The correct nautical term for the majority of the cordage or "ropes" used on a vessel. A line will always have a more specific name, such as mizzen topsail halyard, that specifies its use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms |

Depth Explanation: La sonda de la carta es la profundidad mínima en condiciones medias y no tiene en consideración las mareas. Al sondar (= medir la profundidad) se obtiene la profundidad en un momento determinado. menos sonda = menos profundidad; mejor sonda....= profundidad más adecuada para que trabajen los buzos. 25,5 metros de sonda son 25,5 m de profundidad; traer una cosa a sonda es traerla a la profundidad acordada o necesaria. En inglés una sonda de 5m es un sounding de 5m, pero en este caso puedes usar depth perfectamente https://sites.google.com/site/lanavegacionyelmar/home/el-barco/la-aguja-nautica/tablilla-de-desvio/corredera/base-medida/presentacion-de-eco |
