🔍 Key Concepts

• Sea anchor (drogue) – what it does when streamed from a liferaft • Effect of a sea anchor on drift and movement with wind and current • Difference between stability, maneuverability, and visibility of a liferaft

💭 Think About

• When a sea anchor is deployed, how does it interact with the water compared to the wind acting on the liferaft? • Which choice describes an effect that happens continuously as long as the sea anchor is streamed, rather than only in certain sea conditions? • Does a sea anchor make it easier to actively steer the raft, or does it control how the raft passively moves?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly relates to movement with wind and current rather than comfort or control from inside the raft. • Eliminate any choices that suggest active steering or maneuvering of the liferaft. • Check liferaft survival manuals: what is listed as the main purpose of a sea anchor when adrift?
