🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe working load (SWL) and how load is shared between two mooring lines • Effect of line length and elasticity on how much load each line actually takes • Practical seamanship: what makes two lines share the load equally rather than one taking most of it

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if one line is slightly shorter or tighter than the other. Which one will take more of the load? • Consider whether the physical crossing of lines changes their strength, or just affects handling/chafing. • Ask yourself: to really "double" the strength, what has to be true about how the load is distributed between the two lines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option would make the load distribution between the two lines as equal as possible. • Check whether any option is about diameter or size rather than about how the load is actually shared. • Confirm whether "marrying" two lines changes the actual load each line carries, or just connects them.
