This Week’s Boating Safety Tips Arcadia Playoff Preview Safe Boating Tips Many boaters assume heading into oncoming waves is a safer situation than ­having a heavy following sea. To some extent they are correct. However, these situations can turn very bad in a moment of inattention. When heading into the seas, if the wave crests are at or above your bow, you have a choice. You should absolutely remain moored or return to the dock. Waves above your bow can break suddenly, swamp the boat, and likely the next wave will sink you. Even smaller waves can cause problems. When heading into the waves, never climb the face head-on. Instead, turn your vessel so the bow is climbing the wave at a 45-degree ­angle. This will allow the wave to roll beneath your boat. Taking a wave head-on creates a situation in which the bow hits less resistant­ air, while the stern is slowed by the water. This could cause your boat to ­pitch-pole where the bow flips back over the stern capsizing your vessel. Another difficult situation is maneuvering in on-coming seas. Never allow your vessel to become parallel to the wave crest. This may very well cause you to broach and capsize.
