Q

Which is a method used to make an eye in a bight of line where it cannot be spliced?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Temporary vs permanent eye formations in a line • Difference between splicing and binding/holding methods • Common seamanship terms: serving, plaiting, braiding, seizing

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which method is specifically used to secure two parts of a line together, often to form an eye or attach to another object? • Consider: Which terms describe mainly decorative or protective coverings on a line rather than forming an eye? • Think: In basic seamanship, what is the standard term for binding a line to itself or to another object using small stuff or twine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice refers to binding or fastening parts of a rope together, not just changing its pattern. • Identify which options are primarily used for weaving or intertwining strands rather than holding an eye in place. • Make sure the method you pick is commonly taught in basic marlinespike seamanship as the way to form an eye when you cannot splice.
