🔍 Key Concepts

• Broaching in a following or quartering sea (what it is and why it happens) • How boat speed and heading relative to the swell affect control and risk of capsizing • The importance of maintaining steerage and weight distribution in a small lifeboat

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a small boat if it runs straight down the face of a large swell at high speed. How does that affect control? • How does taking seas from dead ahead compare to taking them on the bow at an angle in terms of comfort, safety, and steering control? • Which option best helps you avoid the boat being pushed sideways by the waves and losing control of the bow?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice reduces the chance of the stern being lifted and the bow digging in, causing a sudden turn? • Which option keeps enough speed for steerage but avoids excessive speed down the wave? • Which option avoids unsafe weight shifts or positions that could make the boat trim unstable?
