What is the name given to the lines that are passed around the falls to hold the boat and prevent it from swinging violently?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of lines used with lifeboat or liferaft falls • Difference between tripping, tricing, frapping, and life lines • Controlling a boat’s motion alongside the ship during launching

💭 Think About

• Which line’s main job is to pull or hold the boat in close to the ship and steady it while it is on the falls? • Which lines are more about pulling something out of the way or turning it, rather than stopping swinging? • When a boat is being lowered, what specific problem do these lines solve in rough seas or when there is a large ship’s side to rub against?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically defined as securing the boat to the falls to prevent swinging • Eliminate any line whose main function is to release, trip, or initially position the boat rather than hold it steady • Confirm from your notes which term is linked to controlling side-to-side motion during lowering and hoisting
