Docking Clinic ASA 118 Exam Questions
With Correct Answers
What |are |the |4 |forces |affecting |docking? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1. |Prop |Wash
2. |Prop |Wash
3. |Wind
4. |Current
How |does |Prop |Walk |affect |boat |speed |and |orientation? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-In |reverse |
gear |Prop |Walk |moves |the |stern |to |the |LEFT |(for |right |handed |propeller). |More |speed |reverse,
|more |the |stern |turns |left.
How |does |Wind |affect |boat |speed |and |orientation? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-In |a |cross |wind |
the |bow |turns |downwind |faster |then |the |stern. |Cross |wind |blows |bow |downwind.
How |does |Current |affect |boat |speed |and |orientation? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Cross |current |
sets |ENTIRE |boat |down |current.
Backing |out |of |slip |what |to |consider? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Wind |direction
Considerations |and |Procedure |Backing |out |of |slip |with |wind |from |ahead |and |cross? |(Blowing |
straight |out |of |slip |or |cross |wind) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-- |Consider |that |wind |threatens |to |
blow |bow |into |piling |as |you |turn |while |backing |out
- |Use |a |doubled |over |midship |spring |line |on |the |lee |side |to |turn/pivot |the |boat |while |backing |
out
- |or |alternatively |use |a |doubled-over |bow |line |windwards |to |control |the |bow
, Consideration |and |Procedure |Backing |out |of |slip |with |wind |from |astern |and |cross? |(Wind |
blows |into |the |slip) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-- |This |is |called |turning |to |windward: |consider |that
|cross |wind |blowing |into |the |fairway |or |wind |blow |into |the |slip |may |may |prevent |boat |while |
turning |to |clear |the |end |piling
- |back |away |as |far |as |possible |before |going |into |forward |gear
Heading |bow |first |out |of |a |slip |with |wind |from |across |- |wind |blowing |against |intended |exit |
direction- |heading |out |with |opposing |wind? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Consider: |Turning |into |
fairway |will |be |harder. |Wind |pushes |bow |against |opposite |docks.
Use |a |midship |spring |line |windward |to |help |turn |the |boat |sooner |(pivot) |to |avoid |striking |the |
slips |across |the |fairway.
Parallel |undocking |when |easy |and |when |harder? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Windward |dock |
easy, |lee |dock |hard. |Also, |boats |in |front |or |aft |can |make |it |harder.
Parallel |docking |departure |with |wind |blowing |away |from |the |dock |- |procedure? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-Release |lines |and |let |wind |blow |you |away |from |dock |while |gently |engage |and |
disengage |engine
Parallel |docking |departure |from |lee, |wind |blowing |onto |the |dock-procedure? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-- |Stern |out |preferable |over |bow |out
- |Springing |stern |off |dock |by |turning |rudder |slightly |towards |dock |(prop |wash |helps) |and |
power |stern |away |while |using |doubled |over |spring |line |at |the |bow |and |a |handheld |fender |at |
the |bow
- |Springing |bow |off |dock |by |powering |(forward) |away |from |the |dock |in |reverse |gear |while |
doubled |over |spring |line |at |the |stern |pivots |boat. |Use |a |manual |fender |stern |to |protect |boat. |
Rudder |is |ineffective |here. |When |boat |turned |away |from |dock, |then |turn |rudder |away |from |
dock |and |power |forward.
