🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper use and adjustment range of turnbuckles in securing gear • Purpose of grab (pear) links and how slack chain is made safe • Routine maintenance vs. design limitation in lashing systems

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that is a built-in physical/design limitation, and which describe actions you should routinely take when using lashings? • Think about how a turnbuckle actually works: what really limits how much slack you can take up—your inspection routine, or the mechanical length of its threaded sections? • For the grab (pear) link, what is the safe practice for dealing with the free (slack) end of the chain so it cannot work loose or flog in heavy weather?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which statements describe good seamanship and recommended practice for lashings. • Identify which statement describes a mechanical fact about the equipment rather than a procedure you choose to follow. • Confirm that at the grab (pear) link, the slack end of chain is not left free and is made secure in a way that prevents it from jumping out of the link.
