Question 4176Deck General70% to pass
You are conducting trials to determine the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel. While making a turn, you take ranges and bearings of an isolated light. The results are shown in illustration D034DG below. What is the transfer for a turn of 180°?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 910 yards.
The transfer for a 180-degree turn is the distance the vessel moves sideways from the original track to the new track after completing the turn. Based on the information provided in the illustration D034DG, the transfer can be calculated by measuring the distance between the vessel's starting and ending positions on the graph, which is approximately 910 yards.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the transfer distance shown in the illustration. Option A (875 yards) and Option C (975 yards) are too low or too high, respectively, compared to the measured value, while Option D (1015 yards) is also inaccurate.
