Answer:

The rope that runs up the mast to pull up the mainsail is called the halyard and to bring the sail down the line is called the downhaul.

Answer:

Rope is generally the term used for the raw material used to make the 'lines' that we use on board a sailing yacht. The rope that runs up the mast to pull up the mainsail is called the halyard and to bring the sail down the line is called the down-haul.

Hope this helps :)
