🔍 Key Concepts

• Ship motions: roll, pitch, yaw, surge, sway, and heave • How a vessel moves when it is being towed on a line • Difference between side-to-side motion and up-and-down or twisting motion

💭 Think About

• Which option best describes a motion where the bow points alternately to port and starboard while the vessel remains generally in the same place on the tow line? • Which options describe mainly vertical (up-and-down) or fore-and-aft (along the line) motions rather than directional (heading) changes? • Think about how an aircraft "yaws"—how does that compare to a boat at the end of a tow line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly describes side-to-side heading changes at the end of the tow line • Eliminate any answer that focuses only on jumping or vertical wave impact • Distinguish between a twisting/corkscrew motion of the hull and a simple veering left and right at the tow’s end
