🔍 Key Concepts

• Primary purpose of a sea anchor (drogue) for a survival craft • Effect of a sea anchor on drift and heading relative to wind and seas • Difference between stability/rollover prevention and rate of drift

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What does a sea anchor actually do in the water—does it mainly create drag, increase buoyancy, or act like a visual signal? • Think about how a craft without a sea anchor behaves in strong wind and waves compared to one with a sea anchor deployed. • Which choice best matches the idea of using water resistance to control the motion of the survival craft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option relates to drag in the water and slowing down movement with the wind and current. • Eliminate any choices that confuse stability against capsizing with the actual designed function of a sea anchor. • Check which answer describes a passive effect of the sea anchor, not an active recovery or signaling function.
