Question 1087Navigation General

The correct answer is C) 348°. To determine the course to steer for maximum closest point of approach (CPA) to the hurricane, we need to consider the relative motion between the vessel and the hurricane. By steering a course of 348°, the vessel will be on a course perpendicular to the hurricane's bearing, which will result in the maximum CPA. The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the optimal course to maximize the CPA. A course of 312° or 330° would result in the vessel getting closer to the hurricane, while a course of 001° would not be perpendicular to the hurricane's bearing.
