🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS liferaft equipment layout – critical items like the knife must be quickly reachable from the entrance • The knife is usually placed near the painter/sea anchor line so it can be cut in an emergency • Distinguish between the lifeline/handholds around the raft and small fitted items fixed to the buoyancy tube

💭 Think About

• If you were the first person into the raft and needed to cut the painter quickly, where would you want the knife located relative to the entrance and the lines? • Look closely at each numbered arrow: which number points to a small object on the buoyancy tube rather than to a line, ladder, or large fitting? • Compare the items near the words “BOARD HERE”: which one could realistically be a sheathed knife rather than a rope, ring, or hook?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice number in the picture is pointing to a small, rigid object attached to the tube, not to a rope or ladder • Confirm that this object is near the boarding area and close to where the main line/painter leads away from the raft • Eliminate any numbers that clearly indicate lines, ladders, or grab ropes, since those are not the knife
