🔍 Key Concepts

• Line handling terminology used on deck • Difference between coiling, stowing, and preparing a line for rapid running out • How lines are laid out to avoid kinks and tangles when they’re needed quickly

💭 Think About

• Think about which option describes getting a line ready so it can run out freely without tangling. • Which of these actions would you most likely do on deck just before using a line, such as for mooring or towing? • Which terms describe long‑term storage versus short‑term preparation for immediate use on deck?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know the specific meaning of coil down versus other ways of arranging line on deck. • Ask yourself which method results in the line lying in flat layers or patterns so it will pay out smoothly. • Verify which options describe storage (putting away) rather than deck preparation (ready for use).
