🔍 Key Concepts

• Capsizing in heavy seas – how small craft roll and flip in big waves • Effect of weight distribution on a small boat’s stability (fore/aft and high/low) • Purpose and effect of a sea anchor in heavy weather (what it does to the bow and motion)

💭 Think About

• Which option best helps control the boat’s motion and heading in relation to the oncoming seas? • How does moving people forward vs. aft change how the boat meets the waves and how much it pitches or rolls? • Which choice might actually increase rolling or make the boat more vulnerable when a large wave hits abeam (on the side)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which action reduces rolling and keeps the bow better aligned with the seas. • Eliminate any option that would make the boat broach or take seas on the beam more often. • Ask yourself which option is a standard heavy-weather seamanship practice for disabled small craft.
