💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that is definitely true about the Williamson turn’s purpose or geometry? • Which option talks about how hard the maneuver is, and does that match how the Williamson turn is usually taught—simple/standard or advanced/rarely used? • Among the turns used for man overboard, which one is specifically recommended when you do NOT have the person in sight, such as at night or in fog?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure which maneuver is used when the victim is not in sight or in poor visibility. • Confirm which maneuver brings you back onto your original track on the opposite (reciprocal) course. • Think about whether the Williamson turn is designed as a precise but simple standard maneuver or as a high‑skill, expert-only evolution.
