    Voir la réponse

    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Give way: slow down or turn to starboard and pass behind it

  12. Question 12 sur 25

    Your small boat capsizes but stays afloat. What should you usually do?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Stay with the boat; it is easier to see and helps you float

    A capsized boat is much easier for rescuers to find than a swimmer, and it gives you something to hold. Stay with it unless it is drifting into danger.

  13. Question 13 sur 25

    Where is the safest water when you see this mark?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. So the engine stops if you fall overboard or are thrown from the helm

    Voir la réponse
