🔍 Key Concepts

• Sea painter function on an inflatable liferaft (what it actually does during launching and inflation) • How a hydrostatic release unit (HRU) and weak link work together with the raft • Difference between a secured painter and a painter that is free to run on deck

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during an emergency, what MUST the painter be able to do so that the raft inflates and stays connected to the ship long enough for people to board? • If the ship sinks, how should the raft separate from the ship so it does not get dragged down? What role would a weak link play in that? • Which choice describes an arrangement that is both ready for immediate use AND will automatically operate if the ship sinks without anyone on deck to launch the raft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option clearly states the painter is secured to the vessel, not just lying on deck or ‘stowed nearby’. • Check which description allows the raft to inflate automatically when the ship sinks, while still allowing it to break free if the ship goes under (think: weak link). • Eliminate any answer where the painter could fail to hold the raft to the ship long enough for inflation or could let the raft get dragged down with the ship.
