Durante nuestra travesía hemos varado en un fondo de arena, ¿qué podríamos hacer para salir de la embarrancada?.During our passage we have grounded on a sandy bottom. What could we do to come off?
Show the answer
Correct answer: d) Lighten the boat to reduce its draught.
Why it is correct
Removing weight reduces the draught, which makes it easier to float off.
Why the others are not
- a) More draught pushes the boat further into the bottom.
- b) Low water leaves even less water.
- c) It would load the grounded part even more.
How to work it out in the exam
- To get off you need more water under you: less draught, or wait for high water.
