What is required to launch a boat stowed in a crescent davit?

A Hoist the boat clear of the cradle.
B Release the outboard part of the cradle.
C Rig the tricing lines.
D Crank the crescent out.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Crank the crescent out. To launch a boat stowed in a crescent davit, the crescent must be cranked out to swing the boat clear of the cradle. This action is necessary to disengage the boat from the cradle and allow it to be lowered into the water. The other options, such as hoisting the boat, releasing the cradle, or rigging tricing lines, are not the primary actions required to launch the boat from the crescent davit.
