70% to passNylon line is NOT suitable for _______________.
A
stoppers
B
lashings
C
towing
D
mooring lines
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) lashings. Nylon line is not suitable for lashings because it is not as strong or durable as other materials like manila or polypropylene rope. Lashings require a more rigid and less elastic line to securely bind and fasten objects together. Nylon, being a synthetic material, is more prone to chafing and abrasion, making it a poor choice for lashings. In contrast, nylon line is well-suited for other applications like stoppers, towing, and mooring lines where its flexibility and shock-absorbing properties are advantageous.
