The term 'bowsprit place' refers to the four parts of a sailing vessel's bow. The SPAR is a long, vertical pole that extends from the bow and supports the sails. The JIB is a triangular sail that is attached to the bowsprit and the STEM. The PROW is the forward-most part of the bow, and the STEM is the curved part of the bow that connects the hull to the PROW. Together, these four components form the bowsprit place of a sailing vessel.
