Question 738Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 324°T. To find the maximum Closest Point of Approach (CPA) from the hurricane, you need to steer a course that maximizes the distance between your vessel and the path of the hurricane. By calculating the relative motion between your vessel and the hurricane, the optimal course to steer is 324°T, which will provide the maximum CPA. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the course that maximizes the CPA. A) 306°T and C) 299°T would put your vessel closer to the hurricane's path, while D) 276°T would result in a smaller CPA compared to the optimal course of 324°T.
