Si tenemos un abordaje y la proa de nuestro barco se ha incrustado en el costado del otro barco. ¿Qué debemos hacer?In a collision, our bow has embedded itself in the side of the other boat. What should we do?
Show the answer
Correct answer: b) Agree with the master of the other boat to check the damage and act accordingly.
Why it is correct
The embedded bow may be plugging the breach: before separating you must coordinate and check the damage.
Why the others are not
- a) Separating can let water pour in through the breach.
- c) Leaving it to chance can open the breach without control.
- d) It may be needed, but that depends on what the check shows.
How to work it out in the exam
- Think what the water does when the boats separate.
