🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction and layout of lifeboats • Purpose of stretchers in small pulling (rowing) boats • How rowing positions are arranged for efficiency and safety

💭 Think About

• Think about where a person’s body and feet are positioned when rowing a lifeboat and what support they need. • Consider what feature in a lifeboat would normally handle drainage of water—does that match what stretchers are? • Ask yourself whether stretchers are more related to sailing gear, drainage, rowing, or casualty care and why.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether stretchers are commonly associated with rowing equipment in small boats. • Confirm what part of the body would actually be in contact with a stretcher during normal lifeboat use. • Distinguish between items meant for drainage (limber holes, scuppers, drain plugs) and items meant for crew support/positioning.
