Question 3893Deck General70% to pass
You have determined the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel by taking the 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 60°?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 105 yards.
The transfer for a turn of 60° can be determined from the maneuvering characteristics shown in the illustration D035DG. According to the information provided, the transfer, which is the distance the vessel moves sideways during the turn, is 105 yards for a 60° turn.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the transfer value shown in the illustration for a 60° turn. The transfer increases as the turn angle increases, but for a 60° turn, the correct transfer is 105 yards.
