Immediately turn to shore under full sails

Furl the jib and sail in on main only

Docking

How can you determine the leeward side of the dock?

1 point

Look at the waves and notice the calmer side of the dock.

Check the wind direction to determine what side is sheltered from the wind.

Look for other boats that are tied to the dock with their bow facing the wind.

All of the above

Clear selection

Why is it so important to land on the leeward side of the dock with the bow pointed into the wind?

1 point

Because MSC says so.

So the boat is slowed by the wind and comes to a stop prior to hitting the dock.

It is not that important, I am a great sailor and can land anywhere I please.
