🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of wind and waves on boat control and victim safety • Difference between windward (upwind) and leeward (downwind) sides • Risk of the boat drifting onto or away from a person in the water

💭 Think About

• If the boat loses power or drifts while alongside the person, which side (windward or leeward) keeps the boat from blowing over the victim? • How do wind and waves affect the ability to keep the person alongside the boat safely while you recover them? • In a fresh breeze, do you want the wind helping to push you toward the person or away from them while you maneuver close?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options place the victim on the windward side vs the leeward side of the boat • Consider what happens if you are stopped in the water with wind on either beam (port or starboard) • Verify which position minimizes the chance of the boat blowing over and striking the victim if control is lost
