EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THE FOLLOWING LINE-HANDLING COMMANDS: HOLD, CHECK, EASE, SLACK, TAKE-IN, CAST-OFF, AVAST, HEAVE AROUND
|
-HOLD: SECURE LINE SO IT DOESN'T SLIP
-CHECK: LET LINE SURGE LITTLE AT A TIME TO PREVENT LINE FROM PARTING
-EASE: LET LINE OUT SMOOTHLY, KEEP TAUGHT
-SLACK: ALLOW LINE TO RUN OUT USING HAND OVER HAND, KEEPING OUT OF WATER
-TAKE-IN: BRING LINE ONBOARD
-CAST-OFF: REMOVE LINE FROM BITT
-AVAST: HOLD LINE, DO NOT SLACK OR HEAVE AROUND
- HEAVE AROUND: PULL ON LINE
|
|
DEFINE SWING CIRCLE AND DRAG CIRCLE
|
-SWING CIRCLE: AMOUNT OF CHAIN RELEASED, DISTANCE HAWSPIPE PLUS SHIPS LENGTH
-DRAG CIRCLE: AMOUNT OF CHAIN RELEASED, DISTANCE HAWSPIPE TO PELORUS
