Where should supplies be stored in the boat?

  1. As high as possible

  2. Only in the back

  3. As low as possible

  4. Outside the vessel

The correct answer is: As low as possible

Supplies should be stored as low as possible in a boat in order to maintain stability and prevent the boat from tipping over. Storing supplies high up in the boat can cause it to become top-heavy and increase the risk of capsizing. Furthermore, storing supplies in the back of the boat can also throw off the balance and make it difficult to steer. Lastly, storing supplies outside the vessel is not recommended as it can create clutter and make it harder to move around the boat safely.
