🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter W requirements for lifesaving appliances • Construction and rigging of lifelines on life floats and buoyant apparatus • The purpose of lifelines: how people actually hold on or secure themselves in the water

💭 Think About

• Think about how lifelines must be arranged so that several people can grab and hold them easily around the entire float—what pattern around the float would make sense? • Consider which methods in the choices describe a full arrangement around the outside of the float versus just how to connect one point. • Ask yourself which option focuses on the spacing and length of the bights/loops where hands or bodies would be, rather than just the type of hardware used.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR that lifelines on life floats are required to be secured around the outside with specific spacing or maximum length of bights. • Check whether the regulation talks about hooks/shackles or splicing one end, or if it emphasizes how the line is laid out around the float. • Confirm the rule’s exact wording on the maximum length of each bight/loop along the perimeter of the life float.
