Question 1920Deck General70% to pass
When a lifeline is required to be attached to a ring life buoy it must be at least _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 60 feet long.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) states that when a lifeline is required to be attached to a ring life buoy, it must be at least 60 feet long. This regulation is found in 46 CFR 160.050-3, which sets the design and performance requirements for ring life buoys. The 60-foot length ensures that the lifeline is long enough to provide a safe means of retrieving a person from the water.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the 60-foot minimum length requirement specified in the regulations. A lifeline that is only 30 feet (A), 90 feet (C), or 120 feet (D) long would not satisfy the regulatory standard.
