🔍 Key Concepts

• Good seamanship and trip hazard prevention on deck • Proper stowage of lines and gear when not in use • Differences between being secured, stowed, marked, or left loose

💭 Think About

• On an active working deck, what is the safest condition for lines and gear that are not being used? • Which option best reduces the risk of crew tripping, getting fouled, or gear washing overboard? • Do any of the choices describe a condition that would still leave the deck cluttered or unsafe in rough weather?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options keep the deck clear and safe to walk on • Decide whether simply marking unused gear removes the physical hazard • Eliminate any choice where gear could still move around or cause tripping if the vessel rolls or pitches
