🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose and effect of a sea anchor (drogue) on a small survival craft • How a sea anchor changes the heading of the craft relative to wind and seas • What motions are associated with broaching, pitching, and rolling

💭 Think About

• Think about which dangerous motion is most likely when a survival craft is moving too fast or slewing around in following seas. • Ask yourself: Does a sea anchor usually stop all movement, or does it mainly slow and stabilize the craft? • Consider which of the listed motions involves the bow not pointing into the seas and the craft being turned broadside.

✅ Before You Answer

• Remember that a sea anchor does NOT act like a rigid anchor to hold the craft fixed in one place. • Match each motion: broaching vs pitching vs rolling – recall what each one looks like on a small boat in waves. • Verify which effect is most commonly stated in survival manuals as the primary safety benefit of rigging a sea anchor correctly.
