Why is dressing in layers, with genuinely waterproof outer gear, particularly important when sailing compared with many land-based activities?

A. Clothing choice makes no meaningful difference to comfort or safety on a boat

B. Conditions on the water change faster and feel colder than the equivalent air temperature ashore (wind chill, spray, and the cooling effect of being wet all add up), and getting properly cold and wet doesn't just cause discomfort — it degrades judgement, dexterity, and can contribute meaningfully to fatigue and even hypothermia risk over time

C. Waterproof gear is only necessary during named storms, not routine sailing

D. Layering is a preference with no practical safety rationale behind it

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
