Question 106 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Changing to larger sails. Changing to larger sails will not reduce the heeling of a vessel when sailing on a tack. In fact, using larger sails will increase the heeling effect, as larger sails generate more sail power and create more heeling force. The other options are correct ways to reduce heeling: A) Reefing sails decreases sail area and power, C) Heading up until the sails begin to luff reduces the angle of attack and sail power, and D) Easing the sheets reduces the heeling moment.
