🔍 Key Concepts

• Functions of lifeboat lines (frapping vs tricing) during launching • How a davits and winch system is controlled when crew are already inside a covered lifeboat • Difference between lowering the boat and releasing the hooks from the falls

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which item is specifically designed to operate the davit/winch while the crew are already seated inside a covered lifeboat? • Which options are mainly for bringing the boat alongside the embarkation deck or steadying it, rather than actually lowering it? • Which choice is associated with letting the boat go free from the falls near the water, not with controlling the descent from the embarkation deck?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which items (frapping line and tricing line) are lines used alongside the ship, not control devices. • Separate in your mind the step of lowering the lifeboat from the step of releasing the hooks when the boat is at or near the water. • Focus on the option that allows control of the davit winch from inside the enclosed lifeboat, keeping the crew protected while lowering.
