⚓US Coast Guard Captain's LicensePractice Question - Answer
C. Station a look-out as low down and far forward as possible
A lookout's primary function is to listen for sound signals and visually scan for other vessels. The "Rule of the Road" states that a lookout should be "as low down and far forward as possible" because sound travels more clearly and visibility is less distorted by the vessel's own motion. This position provides the best chance of hearing and seeing other vessels in reduced visibility.
