When evacuating a seaman by helicopter lift, which course should the ship take?
A course that will have the hoist area in the lee of the superstructure.
With the wind dead ahead because the helicopter is more maneuverable when going into the wind.
A course that will keep a free flow of air, clear of smoke, over the hoist area.
Downwind so that the apparent wind is close to nil.
