🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft construction and components (what lines and cords it has and what each one does) • The purpose of the operating cord used to inflate the raft • Differences between a painter, a lifeline, and a drogue/sea anchor on survival craft

💭 Think About

• Think about what you pull to trigger inflation when a liferaft is launched and how that same line is used immediately afterward. • Which of the listed items is normally attached to the ship or embarkation point before the raft inflates? • Which components (from the options) are usually already attached to the raft itself and used after people are inside rather than at the moment of inflation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of a painter versus a lifeline on liferafts. • Recall which line you secure to the vessel before launching the raft and which one is used to keep people from falling overboard once they’re inside. • Confirm which item is specifically involved in the automatic or manual inflation of the raft.
