🔍 Key Concepts

• Bosun's chair use: supports a person being hoisted aloft; knot must not slip and must be easy to untie after loading • Difference between loops (bowlines), hitches, and bends in the illustration • Which of the labeled knots in I, P, R, and X forms a fixed loop that will not tighten under load

💭 Think About

• Look closely at each of the four labeled knots and decide which one creates a secure, non‑slipping loop suitable to sit in or attach a seat to • Ask yourself which knot is commonly recommended in seamanship manuals for hoisting a person, because it is strong yet easy to untie after being loaded • Eliminate any knot that is mainly for tying to a spar/post, or for joining two lines together rather than forming a primary support loop

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the knot you choose forms a fixed loop whose size does not change when pulled • Verify that the knot is not primarily a bend (for joining two lines) or a clove hitch/round turn style hitch around a spar • Make sure the knot is one that standard seamanship texts describe as appropriate for personnel hoisting/bosun's chair rather than just for securing cargo
