🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft construction and equipment standards in 46 CFR and SOLAS • Purpose of the painter line (what it has to do when the raft is launched) • Typical height of stowage above the waterline on seagoing vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about what the painter must be able to do if the raft is stowed on a high deck and the vessel is trimmed or rolling—how long does it need to be to still function? • Eliminate any options that seem clearly too short to reach the water safely from a common stowage height. • Also consider whether any option seems excessively long and impractical for handling and stowage on a commercial vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in regulations that the painter must be long enough to reach the water from its stowage position and allow the raft to drift clear. • Check which of the given lengths is specifically mentioned as a minimum standard for inflatable liferafts (not buoyant apparatus or other devices). • Confirm that the chosen length would still work for larger vessels with higher freeboard, not just small craft.
