What is a key seamanship consideration when manoeuvring a fishing vessel with gear deployed, that does not apply in the same way to a vessel with no gear out?

A. Gear deployment has no effect on manoeuvring characteristics or safe handling

B. Gear deployment only affects speed, never the vessel's heel or stability during manoeuvres

C. Course and speed changes must account for the gear's drag, position, and the risk of fouling the propeller or causing an asymmetric pull that could induce an unplanned heel — manoeuvres that would be routine and safe gear-free can be hazardous with gear deployed

D. Manoeuvring considerations with gear out are identical to manoeuvring at anchor

A. Falls down an internal companionway stairway

B. A crew member working alone or unsupervised on an open, exposed deck while handling gear, often without a properly worn personal flotation device (PFD), with no one immediately aware they have gone over the side

C. Falls during routine vessel maintenance in port

D. Falls while boarding the vessel from the quay

A. Entanglement is a purely theoretical risk with no real-world basis in fishing vessel incidents

B. This hazard is limited only to trawling vessels and does not apply to pot/static gear vessels

C. Entanglement risk is minimal because modern winches have automatic emergency stops that always activate in time

D. Warps and gear-handling machinery operate under very high tension and can apply enormous, near-instantaneous force, capable of causing traumatic injury, dragging a person overboard, or pulling them into machinery before they can react
