Question 150 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Gooseneck. The gooseneck is the fitting used to connect the boom to the mast on a sailboat. This allows the boom to pivot and move freely while being secured to the mast. The gooseneck provides the pivoting connection between these two important structural components of the sailboat's rigging. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A clevis pin is used to secure other components, not the boom-to-mast connection. C) A gunter-lug is a type of sail and rigging configuration, not a specific fitting. D) A transom is the rear portion of the boat's hull, not a fitting for the rigging.
