[C38] nautical terms

[Craig Steinkraus]

Paul,   A nipper is term usually applied to a short peice of line used to secure a messenger to a larger line. An example is in winter here in Minnesota, I replace the halyards with a messenger to pro-long the halyards life. The line used to connect the halyard to the messenger is called a nipper......
