🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat gripes purpose and where they are located on the boat/davits • Difference between stowage position and lowering position for lifeboats • Common hardware used to secure and tighten gripes (how they are adjusted versus how they are released)

💭 Think About

• First, picture the lifeboat when it is fully stowed in the davits—what keeps it snug against the chocks? • Next, think about how the gripes are normally tightened and loosened in practice—what simple mechanical device is often used for that job? • Then, consider which answer choices describe something that would be true only for one specific type of davit versus something that would apply more generally.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know the basic function of gripes (holding the boat in the stowed position, not during lowering). • Check which option describes a method of adjustment versus a method of release—these are not always the same thing. • Eliminate any choice that limits gripes to only one davit type if you know gripes are used more broadly.
