🔍 Key Concepts

• Breeches buoy rescue setup – order in which lines and gear are sent between shore and vessel • Difference between a hawser (main supporting line) and the whip line with tail‑block (running line used to haul gear) • What is normally sent FIRST to the vessel and what that first line is used to bring over next

💭 Think About

• Think through the sequence: a light shot line is fired to the vessel. What is the very NEXT heavier item that must be established so all other equipment can be passed? • Ask yourself: is the first small line usually tied directly to the main supporting hawser with the breeches buoy already rigged, or is it tied to a line/block system used to haul other gear back and forth? • Which option best matches the idea of using a light line to pull over progressively heavier and more complex gear, rather than sending everything at once?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part is the main supporting line for the breeches buoy (hawser) versus the hauling or whip line (used to move gear and people). • Check which answer choice correctly describes using the first line to pass additional rigging to the vessel, not a fully rigged rescue setup. • Eliminate any option that suggests the breeches buoy and full gear are sent on the very first light shot line – that’s not how the sequence safely works.
