Your boat is in planing mode when enough power is applied so that the hull glides on top of the water. Different boats reach planing mode at different speeds.

Planing Mode

1. Get everyone off the boat 2. Make sure everything is off 3. Close all windows, ports, doors, any openings

Casting off with no wind or current?

The operators of both Boats

Registration location

both sides of bow

Planing Hull

designed to rise up and glide on top of the water when enough power is supplied.

Bow

front of a boat

bow

front of a boat

1. Winch 2. Coupler 3. Tongue 4. Bunks

3 major responsibilities to avoid collisions?

good weather

A boat's capacity plate gives the maximum weight and/or number of people the boat can carry safely in certain weather conditions. What are these conditions?

Both vessels should turn to starboard (right)

A motorboat and a PWC are approaching head-on. What action should be taken?

Displacement Mode

A planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut through the water like a displacement hull.

B

All vessels are required to have type ________ extinguishers on board.

How planing hulls operate?

As speed increases a planing hull will have a raised bow, reducing the operators vision and throwing a very large wake. Avoid maintaining a speed that puts your boat in plowing mode.

ADVANTAGES: Gives a smoother ride than a flat bottomed hull in rough water DISADVANTAGES: Takes more power to move at the same speed as flat- bottomed hulls. May roll or bank in sharp turns.

Deep-vee Hull advantages vs. disadvantages

draft

Depth of water needed to float a vessel

PWC - Steering Nozzle

Device used for directing the stream of water to the left or right

Freeboard

Distance from water to lowest point of the boat where water could come on board

1. Approach the dock slowly at a sharp angle (about 40 degrees) 2. Use reverse to stop when close to the dock. Secure the bow line. 3. Put the boat in forward gear briefly, and slowly turn the steering wheel hard away from the dock -- this will swing in the stern. Secure the stern line.

Docking with wind or current away from the dock

The sailboat because whenever any boat is overtaking another boat, the boat overtaking is ALWAYS the giveway and must go left or right around boat they are overtaking

Cleat

Metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened

500 yards, 457 meters

Minimum of _____ away from a military vessel

ADVANTAGES: Has a greater stability because of its wide beam DISADVANTAGES: needs a large area when turning

Multi- Hull Advantages vs disadvantages

All-Round White Light

On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, this light may be used to combine a masthead light and sternlight into a single white light that can be seen by other vessels from any direction. This light serves as an anchor light when sidelights are extinguished.

This white light shines forward and to both sides and is required on all power-driven vessels. (On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, the masthead light and sternlight may be combined into an all-round white light; power-driven vessels 39.4 feet in length or longer must have a separate masthead light.) A masthead light must be displayed by all vessels when under engine power. The absence of this light indicates a sailing vessel because sailboats under sail display only sidelights and a sternlight.
