Painter (rope)

A painter is a rope that is attached to the bow of a dinghy, or other small boat, and used for tying up or towing.

[2] Canoes being used in moving water or whitewater are rigged with a painter at both the bow and stern.

[3] In addition to the functions mentioned above, a canoe's painters can be used for lining the boat down difficult sections,[4] self-rescue,[5] and boat recovery.
