🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative motion when drifting between your vessel and the disabled vessel • Effect of windward vs. leeward positions when coming alongside another craft • Safe approach for recovering survivors from a vessel with little or no control

💭 Think About

• If your vessel is drifting faster, what happens if you are upwind (to windward) of the disabled vessel and your drift carries you toward it? • How would approaching from downwind (to leeward) change the way the two vessels close or separate as they drift? • Which side would give you the most control to avoid being blown onto the disabled vessel while still being able to reach survivors?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider which side reduces the risk of collision or hull damage if your drift is greater • Think about where you want the wind to push you in relation to the disabled vessel during the final approach • Verify which position allows you to abort the approach safely by easing engines or helm without being forced onto the disabled vessel
