The yacht is conducting a "man overboard" drill using a dummy/fender. What should the drill realistically test, beyond simply recovering the object from the water?

A. The full sequence — raising the alarm, manoeuvring the vessel (e.g. Williamson Turn or similar), maintaining visual contact or using radar/other aids if contact is lost, deploying a rescue boat/swimmer if needed, recovery method appropriate to a real casualty (not just a fender), and post-recovery first aid/casualty care procedures

B. Only how quickly the object can be spotted in the water

C. Only the bridge team needs to be involved; deck crew can observe from a distance

D. Drills using a fender cannot realistically test anything useful

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
