🔍 Key Concepts

• Sea anchor (drogue) purpose and how it interacts with wind, waves, and current • Difference between drift rate and capsizing/turning over • How survival craft are located and recovered at sea

💭 Think About

• Think about what a sea anchor actually does in the water: is it pulling you, slowing you, or stabilizing you? • Which of the options describes an effect that would come directly from creating drag in the water? • Ask yourself which result would be the primary purpose built into the design of a sea anchor on a life raft.

✅ Before You Answer

• Visualize the sea anchor as an underwater "parachute" and consider what that would change about the raft’s movement over the ground. • Consider whether a sea anchor alone can reliably prevent a raft from capsizing in heavy seas. • Ask which option best matches the main function described for sea anchors in survival craft equipment sections of training manuals.
