Q

The rope which is rove from the truck to be used with a Bosun's chair is called a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bosun's chair use and purpose • Parts of a mast: truck, masthead, sheaves and blocks • Traditional term for a line used to hoist a person aloft on a chair or stage

💭 Think About

• Which of these options is specifically a hoisting line led over a masthead or truck for raising and lowering a Bosun’s chair? • Which terms describe something else entirely, like a protective rope to prevent falls or a simple short sling around an object? • On traditional sailing vessels, what was the dedicated name for the line rigged aloft to send a sailor up for maintenance or painting?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term is a short loop or sling rather than a long hoisting line • Identify which term is mainly a safety/fall-prevention line rather than the working hoist • Think about which term is historically tied to sending men aloft using a Bosun’s chair from the masthead or truck
