Question 2057 Deck General

The correct answer is C) breast line. The mooring line labeled "F" in the illustration D044DG is called a breast line. A breast line is a line that runs perpendicular to the vessel and is used to hold the vessel in position alongside a dock or pier. It prevents the vessel from moving forward or backward while docked. The other answer choices are incorrect because a forward spring line runs forward from the vessel, a bow line is attached to the bow of the vessel, and none of the above refers to an option that is not a valid type of mooring line.
