🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a sea anchor on a liferaft in heavy weather or surf • Risks of beaching a raft through heavy surf (capsizing, crew injury, damage to raft) • General survival rule: when to stay offshore in the raft versus trying to land through breakers

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In rough surf, is it usually safer to stay clear of the breakers or to try to run through them with a craft that has almost no maneuverability? • Which option focuses on minimizing risk to people in the raft rather than trying to move faster or make landfall quickly? • How does the sea anchor help the liferaft’s stability in rough seas, and what would happen if you tried to beach without that stability?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice emphasizes avoiding surf landings except in the most dire circumstances. • Check which options would increase the chance of capsizing (e.g., removing the sea anchor, trying to make way in breaking waves). • Confirm which answer reflects standard survival advice: prioritize staying afloat and uninjured over reaching shore quickly in dangerous surf.
