🔍 Key Concepts

• Lee side vs windward side of a vessel in rough weather • How wind and waves affect a lifeboat alongside a ship • Danger of a lifeboat being crushed or swamped during launching

💭 Think About

• Think about which side of the ship provides the most shelter from wind and waves during rough weather. • Consider what happens to a small boat if it is launched on the side where the wind and sea are coming from. • Ask yourself: on which side is the risk lower that the lifeboat will be smashed against the ship’s side or filled with water immediately after launching?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which direction windward and lee each refer to relative to the wind. • Visualize the ship in heavy seas and picture where the highest waves and spray will hit. • Verify which option places the lifeboat in the most sheltered water with the least risk of striking the ship’s side.
