Seamanship 1 Practice Test

In seamanship, which term is paired with the action 'Transfer'?

Turns of twine around a rope end. Transfer Whipping Advance

Correct Answer:

Transfer

Explanation:

In seamanship, the word that names exactly what you’re doing is the action itself. Move a line from one place to another, and you’re transferring it. So the term that pairs with the action described is the same word, transfer, because it directly signifies the act of moving or shifting a line. The other options refer to different rope-work tasks (wrapping and securing rope ends, or a forward movement) and don’t describe the act of moving a line from one position to another.
