Due to the shape of the sea anchor, the best way to haul it back aboard is by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) its trip line.
The shape of the sea anchor, which is designed to create drag and slow a vessel's drift, makes it difficult to haul back aboard directly on the anchor line. Instead, the preferred method is to use the sea anchor's trip line, which is a separate line attached to the end of the sea anchor. By hauling in on the trip line, the sea anchor can be more easily retrieved and brought back onto the vessel. The other options, such as getting all hands to assist (A), hauling in on the anchor line (C), or cutting the line (D), are not the recommended or safest methods for retrieving a sea anchor.
