🔍 Key Concepts

• Stability and trim of small survival craft when not at full capacity • How weight distribution (forward vs aft) affects the bow and stern in a seaway • SOLAS/LSA Code intent to keep propulsion, steering, and transom effective in a lifeboat

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the bow of the boat if too many people sit forward in waves or when launching • Consider where the engine, fuel, and rudder/tiller are usually located on a motor lifeboat and how that affects preferred loading • Ask yourself which loading pattern best keeps the boat level side‑to‑side while slightly favoring one end for control and performance

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which end of most enclosed lifeboats contains the engine and steering position • Check which option maintains athwartship (side‑to‑side) balance while modestly biasing weight to the end that improves control • Eliminate any choice that would obviously make the boat bow-heavy or encourage random, unstable loading
