question 10 of 10
when docking your vessel and the wind is in your face, how should you approach the dock?
a approach at a steep angle (30 - 45°) and swing the boat quickly
b approach at a shallow angle, (10 - 20°) and drift into the dock
c approach straight on and let the dock hand pull you in
d approach from any angle and simply drift into the dock

Explanation:

When docking a vessel with wind in the face, a steep - angle approach (30 - 45°) allows better control. The wind helps slow the boat as it swings into place. A shallow angle (B) may not provide enough control against the wind. Approaching straight on (C) is less maneuverable. Approaching from any angle (D) is too vague and not a standard safe practice.

Answer:

A. Approach at a steep angle (30 - 45°) and swing the boat quickly
