Alabama Boating License Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

How should you approach the dock when docking your vessel?

At full speed

Into the wind or current, whichever is stronger

When docking your vessel, it is important to consider the direction of the wind or current. Approaching the dock at full speed (A) would make it difficult to control the vessel and may result in a collision. Docking with the current or wind to your back (C) may also lead to difficulty controlling the vessel and increase the risk of accidents. Approaching the dock sideways (D) is not advisable as it could cause damage to the vessel or the dock. The best approach is to dock into the wind or current, whichever is stronger (B), as this will provide better control and minimize the risk of accidents.
