🔍 Key Concepts

• Surf landing technique for lifeboats under oars (how to approach a beach safely in breaking seas) • Why the coxswain/boat officer must be able to see and meet the seas while approaching • The purpose and effect of a sea anchor (drogue) in surf and whether it helps or hurts when beaching

💭 Think About

• In heavy surf, where is the safest direction for the boat to face relative to the breaking seas while approaching shallow water? • If you need to control your speed and keep from being surfed broadsides, is it usually safer to go bow-first or stern-first toward the beach under oars? • What does a sea anchor do to your boat’s speed and maneuverability, and is that desirable when you must time and maneuver through breaking waves to land?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, check whether the boat can meet the oncoming seas with the bow, not be caught side‑to‑on or stern‑to‑the surf uncontrolled • Decide if a sea anchor would reduce or improve control when you need quick maneuvering and strong headway or sternway in surf • Make sure the procedure lets the person in charge see approaching breakers and use oars effectively to keep the boat straight while nearing the beach
