Q

Which term describes the rope which is rove through a tail block to be used with a bosun's chair?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bosun's chair use and setup for working aloft or overside • Function of a tail block and how lines are rove (run) through it • Difference between a safety line and the working hoist line

💭 Think About

• Think about which line actually goes through the block and is used to raise and lower the bosun's chair, not just to secure the person. • Consider which option names a general type of rope versus the specific hoisting line used with a bosun's chair. • Ask yourself: which of these terms is associated with going aloft and sending a person up and down the mast or side of the ship?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term is specifically tied to hoisting a person in a chair rather than just securing them. • Eliminate any term that refers mainly to a sling or loop around an object instead of a line through a block. • Verify which term is commonly used on deck when rigging to go aloft in a chair or to send tools up and down.
