Question 1

When heavy weather is forecast for a large yacht, which precaution is most appropriate before conditions deteriorate?

Secure loose gear on deck and below, check watertight integrity, free scuppers/drains, and brief the crew on heavy-weather stations Open all shell doors to equalise pressure between compartments Increase speed to maximum continuous rating to outrun every weather system Strike all lifejackets below so they stay dry until after the storm

Correct Answer:

Secure loose gear on deck and below, check watertight integrity, free scuppers/drains, and brief the crew on heavy-weather stations

Question 2

What is synchronous rolling?

Rolling that builds when the ship's natural roll period matches the period of encounter with successive waves Rolling caused only by a permanent list from uneven fuel loading A controlled heel applied deliberately when heaving to Roll motion that occurs exclusively in following seas at zero speed

Correct Answer:

Rolling that builds when the ship's natural roll period matches the period of encounter with successive waves

Question 3

Why must deck drains and scuppers be kept clear in heavy weather?

To maintain water-freeing arrangements so green water can drain and freeboard/stability are not compromised by trapped water on deck To allow bilge pumps to discharge directly onto the weather deck To create intentional deck flooding that damps rolling Because they are only required for fire-main drainage, not weather

Correct Answer:

To maintain water-freeing arrangements so green water can drain and freeboard/stability are not compromised by trapped water on deck

Question 4

Closing the hawse and spurling pipes when securing for sea primarily helps to:

Preserve watertight integrity at the chain locker and prevent green water entering through the hawse/spurling openings Increase ground tackle holding power while underway Cool the windlass motor by forced ventilation Mark the anchor as ready for immediate free-fall deployment

Correct Answer:

Preserve watertight integrity at the chain locker and prevent green water entering through the hawse/spurling openings

The distance the vessel continues to travel ahead after engines are ordered stop or reverse until the vessel is stopped through the water The maximum range of the bow thruster in knots The height of the forecastle above the waterline The distance from the pivot point to the stern
