🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a sea anchor in a lifeboat and when it is normally used • How to control a boat under oars when approaching a beach through surf • Risks of broaching-to or capsizing when landing in surf

💭 Think About

• Think about what a sea anchor actually does to a boat’s speed and heading. Would that help you land through surf, or mostly help you ride out seas offshore? • When you are trying to land through a slight surf, do you generally want to: (1) keep moving with positive control under oars, or (2) drift and let the sea carry you? • Consider whether you want the boat bow or stern toward the incoming seas as you approach the beach, and which option best lets you keep control with the oars.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options use a sea anchor while approaching the beach and ask if that matches its main purpose. • Check which option allows continuous positive control under oars instead of mostly drifting. • Eliminate any choice where the boat would likely lose steerageway or be turned broadside to the surf.
