🔍 Key Concepts

• Current direction and control of the boat when approaching a person in the water • Risk of the victim being swept under the bow or alongside the boat • Using the current and boat position so the victim drifts to a controlled, safe recovery point

💭 Think About

• If the person is unconscious and cannot swim, how can you position the yawl so the current helps bring the victim to you instead of pushing them away or under the boat? • What relative positions of the yawl, the victim, and the current give you the most control over the approach and keep the propeller and hull away from the victim? • Think about whether you want the victim to be on the upstream or downstream side of the yawl during the approach and why.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where the current is flowing in relation to the bow and stern of the yawl during the approach. • Check which option best prevents the victim from drifting under the hull or into the propeller. • Confirm which position allows the crew to see and safely reach the victim as they come alongside.
