🔍 Key Concepts

• Wake and squat in narrow channels and how they are affected by vessel speed • Effect of course changes and rudder movements on wake and bank suction • Basic seamanship for minimizing damage to shore structures and small boats from your wake

💭 Think About

• In a confined waterway, what factor has the most direct and predictable effect on the size and energy of your wake? • Do frequent heading changes (like zigzagging) generally make the water more or less disturbed around your vessel? • Which options actually change the hydrodynamic forces you create in the water, and which mostly just change the vessel’s trim or heading without reducing the overall disturbance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly reduces water flow and turbulence created by the hull • Eliminate options that mainly affect direction or trim but not the total energy put into the water • Consider what you would do in real life to avoid damaging docks, shorelines, or small craft with your wake in a tight channel
