🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat launching sequence from stowed position to water • Difference between gripes, tricing pendants, and frapping lines • Where the lifeboat needs to be held while people are embarking

💭 Think About

• Picture the lifeboat just after the gripes are released: what prevents it from swinging away from the ship before people are fully loaded? • Which gear is used only during the initial part of lowering, near the embarkation deck, and then released when the boat is clear to be lowered to the water? • Think about which equipment would logically be attached to the falls versus which would be attached between the ship and the boat to control its position alongside.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify at what stage of lowering tricing pendants are used (initial alongside vs. full lowering to the water) • Decide whether they mainly control swinging motion, fore‑and‑aft motion, or position alongside for loading • Verify that tricing pendants are associated with bringing/holding the boat in close to the embarkation deck, not with supporting people directly.
