🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of water pockets (sea anchors) on inflatable liferafts • How a liferaft behaves in rough seas and high winds • What design features improve a liferaft’s performance once it is already inflated and occupied

💭 Think About

• When strong wind and waves hit a small floating object, what tends to happen if there is nothing dragging in the water beneath it? • Which of these options would help keep people safer in heavy seas right after abandoning ship? • Think about which function would likely be built-in elsewhere on the raft (e.g., rain collection) rather than using underside pockets.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly relates to reducing excessive drifting, skidding, or flipping in waves • Ask which option is most critical for survival and safety in rough conditions immediately after launching the raft • Eliminate any options that describe tasks better handled by other specific raft equipment (like rainwater collection devices or drain plugs)
