🔍 Key Concepts

• Boat motions in waves: yaw, pitch, roll, and how each one moves the boat • Capsizing risks when the side of the boat is exposed to strong waves and wind • The difference between going end over end in a wave versus being turned so your beam (side) faces the seas

💭 Think About

• Think about which motion describes the boat turning so that its side is facing directly into the waves and wind. • Which term is used when a boat is forced into a dangerous position where a wave can roll it over from the side rather than the bow or stern? • Which of these terms do you associate with the boat’s trim (fore‑and‑aft balance) versus a loss of control in heavy seas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term refers specifically to a boat being turned sideways to the seas and wind. • Eliminate the choice that describes fore‑and‑aft balance rather than a loss of control. • Consider which term describes going end over end in a steep wave, and rule that one out for this question.
