   • AFollow close behind the boat ahead
   • BTurn off your navigation lights to save the battery
   • CSpeed up to get out of the fog quickly
   • DSlow to a safe speed, keep a sharp lookout and make the correct sound signals

   In restricted visibility, every vessel must go at a safe speed for the conditions and make the sound signals in the collision rules.

5. Pergunta 5 de 25

   Why should you attach the engine kill switch lanyard to yourself when driving?

   • ASo you can steer with one hand
   • BBecause it charges the battery
   • CSo the boat goes faster
   • DSo the engine stops if you fall overboard or are thrown from the helm
   Mostrar resposta

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

   If the driver falls out, the lanyard pulls the switch and stops the engine, so the boat does not run on without a driver.

6. Pergunta 6 de 25

   When are you treated as overtaking another vessel?

   • AWhen you are travelling faster than 10 knots
   • BWhen you come up from more than 22.5 degrees behind its beam
   • CWhen you are on its port side
   • DOnly when you are directly behind it
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: B. When you come up from more than 22.5 degrees behind its beam

   You are overtaking if you approach from more than 22.5 degrees abaft (behind) its beam. At night you would see only its white sternlight.

   • CLevel 100 or above
   • DAny buoyancy vest without a collar
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: C. Level 100 or above

   Level 100 and above lifejackets give a high level of buoyancy and keep you floating safely. Level 50 types are for active watersports and will not support your head.

    • DTake off your lifejacket so you can swim faster
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: 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.

20. Pergunta 20 de 25

    At night you see a white masthead light with both a red and a green sidelight straight ahead. What is happening?

    • AA sailing vessel is moving away from you

    • CA vessel is overtaking you from behind
    • DA vessel is at anchor
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. A power-driven vessel is heading straight towards you

    Seeing both sidelights and a masthead light means a power vessel is coming head-on. Both vessels should turn to starboard.

21. Pergunta 21 de 25

    Two sailing vessels have the wind on the same side. Which one gives way?

    • AThe faster vessel
    • BThe windward vessel (the one further upwind)
    • CThe one closer to the shore
    • DThe leeward vessel (the one further downwind)

    • COn your starboard (right) side
    • DDirectly behind you
    Mostrar resposta
