🔍 Key Concepts

• Righting strap purpose – used to flip a capsized inflatable liferaft back upright • Location of a righting strap on most inflatable liferafts (usually accessible from the water, near the bottom or side where you would stand to pull) • Difference between lifelines/boarding ladder and the single heavy strap used for righting

💭 Think About

• On the illustration, which numbered item is positioned so a person in the water could pull it to roll the raft upright if it were upside down? • Which numbers point to continuous ropes around the raft (lifelines) and which number points to a single, heavier strap or loop? • If the raft were inverted, where would the righting strap need to be so that your weight on it would help turn the raft over?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure the item you select is outside the raft, not inside the canopy. • Confirm that the item is not the boarding ladder or sea anchor; identify those first, then eliminate their numbers from consideration. • Check that the strap you choose appears broad and strong enough for a person to stand or hang on while righting the raft.
