🔍 Key Concepts

• Windward vs. leeward – which side is the wind coming from, and which side is sheltered? • How wind and waves affect a person in the water (spray, being pushed under, drifting away). • How boat drift and control change depending on which side you approach from in strong wind.

💭 Think About

• If the person is already in danger of drowning, how important is it to keep water, spray, and waves away from their face? • From which direction will the wind and seas push your boat and the person in the water relative to each other? Will this help you keep close control or risk the boat drifting over them? • Which approach gives you the best chance to shield the person from wind and waves while still maintaining control of the rescue boat?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify clearly which side is windward (upwind) and which side is leeward (downwind). • Visualize how both the boat and the person drift in relation to the wind and waves during the final approach. • Ensure the chosen option lets the boat act as a barrier between the person and the oncoming wind/wave action, rather than using the boat to push the person further into danger.
