🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties of three-strand nylon line (strength, stretch, durability) • Typical failure modes and hazards when towing with synthetic line • Compare advantages vs. disadvantages of nylon compared to other materials (e.g., wire, polyester)

💭 Think About

• Which choices describe known strengths of nylon line, and which describe problems or hazards? • Think about what happens when a highly elastic line under heavy load suddenly parts—what is the main risk to people on deck? • Is nylon generally known for rotting easily or for being resistant to rot and mildew?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option matches a true advantage of nylon (that cannot be the disadvantage asked for). • Eliminate any choice that contradicts the general reputation of nylon for high strength and elasticity. • Focus on the choice that describes a specific hazard during towing operations that crews must be trained to avoid.
