Default Seamanship Question #8

I sent to:
bsenior at optonline.net

The text was:

------------------------------------------
side/stern/masthead

12/12-20/20-50/50


also, screw pin shackles


Don't you get a lot of spam using your real addy?



------------------------------------------

I never got a "bounced" message. I guess the explains why you don't get spam!

You could have mentioned that I included this answer when I emailed you

the
answer to 6. ;-}

This is a question right out of the USCG exams.

The CG answer is D. Screw Pin shackles.

I assume it's because these are more secure.

When making up a tow connection, you should
use: [1 pt]

a) Safety Hooks
b) Plain eye hooks
c) Round pin shackles
d) Screw pin shackles

When towing anything over 25,000 tons I prefer to use a Pelican hook
made for 6 " chain. The six inch chain is long enough to clear the
stern roller. The chain has a wormed screw shackle that is attached to
the 5" samson braid hauser. I like to have at least 1/4 mile of hauser
prefer 1/2 mile. The end of the hauser is attached to a two point
bridle that usually uses round pin shackles to attach to the towed
item.

I like the pelican hook on deck just incase you trip the tow. Or the
tow sinks. No sence in getting pulled under or over.

Yeah, it's a good idea. Most spam these days is from email addresses
on websites... something like 90% gotten from robots.

Might want to change it in your news reader. I had also sent you a couple

of
e-mails and never received a reply. Thought you were ignoring me.
