Deck General USCG Q#1672 (Set 52)

Which is a method used to make an eye in a bight of line where it cannot be spliced?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — seizing

Seizing is the standard seamanship method for binding two parts of a line together using smaller cordage. When an eye must be formed in a bight where splicing is impractical or impossible due to the line's construction or current state, a properly executed seizing provides the necessary structural integrity.
