Question 1105Navigation General

The correct answer is A) starboard quarter, note the course, and head in that direction. The reasoning behind this is that in the Northern Hemisphere, when a vessel is in the direct path of a hurricane, bringing the wind onto the starboard quarter allows the vessel to run with the hurricane, reducing the risk of broaching or capsizing. This position on the starboard quarter provides the most favorable angle to the hurricane's winds and seas, allowing the vessel to ride out the storm more safely. The other options are incorrect because bringing the wind on the port bow, starboard bow, or port quarter would not provide the same level of stability and control in the face of a hurricane's powerful winds and waves.
