Question 1453Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Estimated position. The estimated position takes into account the effects of wind and current on the vessel's movement. It is calculated by starting with the vessel's last known position (the dead reckoning position) and then adjusting for the estimated effects of wind and current over the time elapsed. This provides a more accurate estimate of the vessel's current location compared to simply relying on the dead reckoning position. The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically include the effects of wind and current. The dead reckoning position only accounts for the vessel's speed and course, while the set position and leeway position refer to different navigational concepts not directly related to the vessel's estimated location.
