Question 4177Deck General70% to pass
You are on a course of 000°T and put the rudder right 30°. In which direction will the transfer be measured?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 090°T.
When a vessel's rudder is put to the right 30°, the transfer (the distance the stern moves perpendicular to the original course) will be measured to the right, or in the 090°T direction. This is because the turn of the rudder causes the vessel to pivot around its center of pivot, resulting in the stern moving in a direction perpendicular to the original course.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the direction of the transfer. Option A (000°T) is the original course, option C (180°T) is the opposite direction, and option D (270°T) is the opposite direction of the transfer.
