Question 4178Deck 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 180°?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 850 yards.
The transfer for a 180-degree turn is determined by the maneuvering characteristics of the vessel, specifically the distance the vessel travels perpendicular to its original course during the turn. Based on the information provided in the illustration D035DG, the transfer for a 180-degree turn is 850 yards.
The other options are incorrect because option A) 745 yards and option B) 770 yards are smaller than the actual transfer, while option D) 890 yards is larger than the transfer shown in the illustration.
