What advice is given regarding powerboats approaching paddle crafts?

They should increase speed to pass quickly
No specific advice is given
Reduce to no-wake speed to avoid capsizing the paddle craft
Illuminate the paddle craft with a spotlight

The correct answer is: Reduce to no-wake speed to avoid capsizing the paddle craft

When approaching paddle crafts, it is advised to reduce speed to no-wake speed to avoid causing the paddle craft to capsize. Increasing speed to pass quickly (A) can create large wakes which may tip over the paddle craft. No specific advice is given (B) because different situations may require different actions. Illuminating the paddle craft with a spotlight (D) is not necessary and can potentially blind the person operating the paddle craft. Therefore, reducing to no-wake speed (C) is the safest and most appropriate option when approaching paddle crafts.
