An inflatable liferaft is thrown into the water from a sinking vessel. What should occur after the painter trips the CO2 bottles to inflate the raft?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft launching sequence from a sinking vessel • What the painter line does during inflation and after launch • When the sea anchor (drogue) is supposed to be used

💭 Think About

• Think about the order of actions: first the raft inflates, then people board, then what comes next for stability and position? • What is the painter’s main safety purpose: to release and inflate the raft, or to stay attached or detach automatically? • Which of these options is an immediate automatic function, and which is an action taken by survivors after getting clear of the sinking vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the painter line is connected to and when, if ever, it detaches automatically. • Consider whether the floor inflation is usually automatic or done after boarding using an additional valve or cylinder. • Recall when standard procedures say to deploy the sea anchor in relation to clearing the sinking ship and stabilizing the raft.
