• Sea anchor (drogue) purpose in heavy weather and surf • How heading and speed of a small craft are affected by a sea anchor • Recommended procedures for beaching lifeboats through surf in survival manuals

💭 Think About

• When a lifeboat is going through surf toward a beach, what is the main danger the crew is trying to control: direction (heading), speed, or position? • How does dragging something in the water ahead of or astern of the boat affect its motion—does it stop the boat completely, slow it and steady it, or pull it somewhere? • Would standard survival practice ever say to never use a common safety tool like a sea anchor in surf, or would its use be more conditional and purpose‑specific?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes controlling motion in a specific way (not just being near the beach). • Check which choice matches the typical function of a sea anchor: to create drag and directional stability. • Eliminate any option that claims an absolute like “never” without considering whether that fits standard survival craft procedures.
