How should a bag be worn?

• A. Diagonally across the body
• B. Across left shoulder, bag hanging on same side of body
• C. Across right shoulder
• D. In the hand

Answer: (B)

Keep the bag secured close to your body on one side so it stays controlled and easy to access. When the strap goes over the left shoulder and the bag rests on the same side, the bag sits against your hip, reducing movement as you move around a boat and lowering the chance it will snag on lines or equipment. This position also lets you reach into the bag quickly with your left hand without the bag shifting unpredictably. Wearing the bag diagonally across the chest, over the opposite shoulder, or on the other shoulder tends to let the bag swing more and can make it easier to snag or drop in rough seas. Holding it in your hand is least secure and increases the risk of losing items.
