🔍 Key Concepts

• Different methods of arranging line on deck (coiling, faking, flemishing) • How each method affects running free without tangles • Visual shape of each pattern: round spiral vs. straight lengths vs. figure-eights

💭 Think About

• Think about which line-handling term describes laying a line out so it can run freely without putting extra twist into it. • Picture what a coil, a flemish, and a faked line each look like on deck—what shape do you see from above? • Consider which method is most commonly used for long lengths of line that need to be ready to run out quickly, such as mooring or heaving lines.

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the term to the physical pattern/shape: round spiral, neat coils, or laid out in long turns. • Ask yourself which arrangement is specifically associated with figure-eight patterns on deck. • Eliminate any term you know is used primarily for cable/boat hull shape rather than line handling.
