control
Class Alpha fire - Answer wood, cloth, textiles, fibrous material, paper products; effective extinguishing
agents are water and AFFF
Class Bravo fire - Answer Flammable or combustible liquids, paint, grease, petroleum products.
Effective extinguishing agents are AFFF, PKP, and CO2
Class Charlie fire - Answer Energized electrical fire; effective extinguishing agents when energized are
CO2 or PKP
Class Delta fire - Answer Combustible metals such as magnesium and titanium; jettison overboard.
how to extinguish a class alpha fire - Answer water, AFFF
how to extinguish a class bravo fire - Answer AFFF, PKP, or CO2
how to extinguish a class charlie fire - Answer CO2 or PKP

What type of hull does the 45' have? - Answer Semi-displacement
What type of hull does the 29' have? - Answer Planing
, 2 keel types: - Answer bar keel or flat plate
displacement - Answer weight of boat measured in long tons or pounds
stability - Answer the tendency of a vessel to remain upright
2 primary forces that affect stability: - Answer gravity and buoyancy
center of gravity - Answer the point at which the weight of the boat acts vertically downwards
equilibrium - Answer when the center of buoyancy is directly below the center of gravity
heeling - Answer temporary leaning of a vessel
listing - Answer permanent leaning of a vessel
rolling - Answer side-to-side motion of a vessel
2 types of stability: - Answer longitudinal (fore and aft) and transverse (athwartships)
moment - Answer the force that causes a vessel to return to an even keel
righting moment - Answer force causing a vessel to react against a roll and return to an even keel.
effects of freezing spray: - Answer freezing spray can cause ice to build up on the deck, adding weight
that can influence the center of gravity; can also complicate the use of boat equipment
45' max personnel - Answer 24 (210 lbs each)
