🔍 Key Concepts

• Chafing: what happens to a line where it rubs against a hard surface like a rail or bulwark • The difference between splicing, worming, and chafing gear on a rope • Where on a vessel you usually protect lines that are under constant rubbing or motion

💭 Think About

• Think about which option directly protects the outside of the line at the point of rubbing, rather than changing the construction of the rope itself. • Ask yourself: which method is commonly used on dock lines or mooring lines where they go over a chock or rail? • Consider which term is specifically associated with preventing wear from rubbing against a surface.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes adding protective material over the part of the line that is rubbing. • Confirm whether splicing or worming are mainly used for end terminations and making eyes, not for surface protection at a chafe point. • Make sure the option you choose is a standard method used on mooring and towing lines to prevent wear from rubbing.
