🔍 Key Concepts

• Initial actions in a survival craft per SOLAS and standard liferaft training • Purpose of a sea anchor (drogue) for a liferaft • Human body priorities in survival: air, shelter, warmth, stability before food and water

💭 Think About

• Which action will most improve the liferaft’s safety and stability in the first few minutes after launching? • Think about what happens to an unanchored inflatable liferaft in wind and waves—what device helps control this? • Are any of the options related to comfort or longer-term survival rather than immediate safety and raft control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly affects drift, orientation, and stability of the liferaft. • Separate immediate safety actions from those that can safely wait until later (hours vs. minutes). • Consider standard liferaft drills: what do you typically do right after boarding, before dealing with water and seasickness?
