🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand the basic parts of a gravity lifeboat davit system (davits, falls, manropes, gripes). • Think about what manropes are used for and where they are located when the boat is being lowered. • Consider what function a wire between the davit heads would practically serve for people boarding or leaving the boat.

💭 Think About

• When the lifeboat is being lowered and people may be hanging on to lines, what must those lines be attached to? • If the wire were meant to control davit speed or prevent slipping, how might that be done mechanically, and would a thin wire between davit heads be effective for that? • Which option directly involves something that would logically be suspended from a wire stretched between two high points?

✅ Before You Answer

• Visualize the position of the wire relative to the lifeboat and davits when the boat is swung out and lowered. • Recall the purpose and typical arrangement of manropes (embarkation ropes) on lifeboats. • Eliminate any options that describe functions better handled by brakes, gripes, or mechanical gear rather than a simple wire.
