Question 2041 Deck General

The correct answer is D) thoroughfooting. Thoroughfooting is the process of coiling a new rope against the lay, bringing the lower end up through the center of the coil, and then coiling the rope with the lay. This method helps remove any kinks or twists in the new rope, ensuring it is properly coiled and ready for use. The other options are incorrect: A) Faking refers to the process of laying out a rope in a series of figure-eight loops. B) Flemishing describes the process of coiling a rope in a circular pattern, often used for smaller diameter lines. C) Coiling is the general term for neatly winding a rope, but does not specifically refer to the thoroughfooting technique.
