🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of wind rode in seamanship terminology • Difference between a vessel affected mainly by wind versus current when not making way • Typical position of a vessel relative to the wind when securely anchored or moored

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a vessel more likely to point into the wind or away from it when held in place by ground tackle (anchor and rode)? • Think about what usually determines the direction a vessel faces when anchored: is it the wind, the current, or her own propulsion? • Consider which choice best describes a vessel being held by the wind while otherwise not moving ahead or astern under power.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves the vessel being anchored or held in place, not actively maneuvering under power or way • Check which answer implies the vessel’s bow is pointed into the wind rather than away from it • Eliminate choices that describe steering corrections while underway, since ‘wind rode’ is about how the vessel lies when not making way
