🔍 Key Concepts

• Surf landings in lifeboats – how to reduce the chance of broaching or capsizing in breaking seas • Use and position of a sea anchor (drogue) relative to bow or stern in surf • Boat control when approaching a beach – how to meet or avoid breaking waves

💭 Think About

• Which method gives you the most control over the boat’s heading as waves break near the beach? • How does putting a sea anchor over the bow versus over the stern change how the boat lies to the seas? • In heavy surf, is it usually safer to run with the breakers, stay between them, or meet them bow-on?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices use a sea anchor and where it is streamed from (bow or stern). • Consider which option keeps the bow toward the seas as much as possible in breaking surf. • Eliminate any option that would likely cause the boat to broach (turn broadside) or be surfed uncontrollably on a breaking wave.
