Question 4182 Deck General
70% to passYou have determined the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel by taking radar ranges and bearings of an isolated light while making a turn. The results are shown in illustration D035DG below. What is the transfer for a turn of 90°?
A
400 yards
B
430 yards
C
485 yards
D
525 yards
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 400 yards. The transfer for a 90-degree turn is the distance the vessel travels perpendicular to its original course during the turn. Based on the information provided in the illustration D035DG, the transfer for a 90-degree turn is approximately 400 yards. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the transfer distance shown in the illustration. Option B (430 yards) and Option C (485 yards) are too high, while Option D (525 yards) is significantly higher than the actual transfer distance.
