🔍 Key Concepts

• Line handling terminology used on deck • Difference between coiling, stowing, and faking a line • Why you might want a line to run free without kinks when paying out

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes preparing a line so it can be paid out quickly and smoothly? • Which option is more about protecting the end of the line rather than how it’s laid out on deck? • When you expect to use a line in a hurry (towing, mooring, heaving line), how would you lay it so it doesn’t tangle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe storage versus temporary working arrangement on deck • Separate options that deal with end treatment (like preventing fray) from those that describe overall layout • Think about which method specifically creates long, back‑and‑forth sections that let the line run out freely
