🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft operating cord (painter) function and purpose • How the liferaft remains connected to the vessel until fully inflated and boarded • SOLAS / manufacturer instructions on securing survival craft before launching

💭 Think About

• Before a liferaft is thrown overboard, what must prevent it from drifting away before it inflates and people can board? • Which option provides a secure connection to the ship in an emergency, without relying on a person physically holding or standing on the cord? • Think about standard shipboard practice: how are painters for liferafts and rescue boats normally secured prior to launching?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the painter of a liferaft is normally secured on board according to training manuals and manufacturer markings. • Consider whether a person could safely and reliably act as the only "anchor" for the painter in heavy seas. • Check which choice describes a permanent, solid securing point that will still work even if everyone lets go.
