Question 1143 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) stay in the general location. The purpose of deploying the sea anchor from a liferaft in good weather is to help keep the liferaft in the general area and prevent it from drifting too far away. The sea anchor creates drag, which helps maintain the liferaft's position and prevents it from being blown off course by wind and waves. This is crucial for survival, as it allows rescuers to more easily locate the liferaft. The other options are incorrect because: A) navigating against the current is not the primary purpose of the sea anchor, C) keeping personnel from getting seasick is not the main function, and D) preventing the liferaft from capsizing is not the main reason for deploying the sea anchor in good weather, as the liferaft is already stable in calm conditions.
