70% to passThe painter which is to be attached to the thwart of a lifeboat should _______________.
A
be fitted at the end with an approved safety shackle
B
have a long eye splice at the end, and a shackle and pin should be attached to the painter with a lanyard
C
be fitted with a swivel and quick-releasing pelican hook
D
have a long eye splice at the end, and a hardwood toggle should be attached to the thwart with a lanyard
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. The painter (the line attached to the bow of a lifeboat) should have a long eye splice at the end, and a hardwood toggle should be attached to the thwart with a lanyard. This allows the painter to be quickly and easily released from the lifeboat in an emergency, which is a critical safety requirement. The other options are incorrect because: A) A safety shackle is not the preferred method for attaching the painter to the thwart. B) A shackle and pin is not the recommended attachment method. C) A swivel and quick-releasing pelican hook is not the standard configuration for a lifeboat painter.
