Module 13 - Meteorology
Worked scenario prompt
Scenario: you are planning a short coastal day passage in familiar waters and Weather and the Sailor becomes the deciding topic. Conditions are workable but not perfect: the crew is mixed in experience, the tide or weather may change the margin, and another vessel or local constraint may affect your options.
A strong answer should not jump straight to a final word. State what you know, what you do not know yet, and what extra check would make the decision safe enough for safe Day Skipper judgement.
Key points
- Say the hazard or decision in one sentence.
- Identify the missing information before choosing the action.
- Choose the simple conservative option when the margin is unclear.
- Brief the crew in practical language, not exam shorthand.
