🔍 Key Concepts

• Gravity davit lifeboat launching sequence and purpose of each step • Function of gripes, tricing pennants, and frapping lines • When electrical/emergency limit or disconnect switches are normally used in the launching process

💭 Think About

• Think about what must be done first so the boat can move outboard at all, and what is holding it in the stowed position. • Once the boat is at the embarkation deck, what keeps it close to the ship’s side, and in what order are those securing devices removed? • In a normal gravity davit launch (not an emergency power failure), would you deal with electrical limit or disconnect switches before or after mechanical securing devices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the job of gripes (what do they secure and in what position?). • Be clear on when tricing pennants are in use (while swinging out vs when lowering away). • Be clear on when frapping lines are handled (what do they control: distance from ship’s side or vertical movement?).
