In launching a lifeboat, when should the tricing pendants be released?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — After all people have been embarked
SOLAS and 46 CFR procedures dictate that tricing pendants hold the lifeboat flush against the embarkation deck for safe boarding and must be cast off immediately after embarkation is complete, prior to lowering.
