Securing or stowing lines and loose gear is a fundamental safety practice. Unsecured lines on deck can create trip and slip hazards, foul propellers, and even get caught in the wake of other vessels. Unsecured gear can shift or be thrown around in rough seas, causing injury to crew or passengers and damage to the vessel itself. Proper storage and securing of all equipment is essential for maintaining a safe vessel.
