Generally, when lifting an inflatable liferaft back aboard ship you would use the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) towing bridle.
When lifting an inflatable liferaft back aboard a ship, the towing bridle is used. The towing bridle is a rope or webbing attached to the raft that allows the raft to be pulled back onto the vessel. This method is specified in the regulations and training for the proper handling and recovery of inflatable lifesaving equipment.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not serve the purpose of lifting the raft. The main weather cover protects the raft, the external lifelines are for securing personnel, and the righting strap is used to right an overturned raft, not lift it.
