Q

At the time of your 1245 position, which statement is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Start from the explicit 1245 GPS fix in step 7: 41°10.3′N, 72°44.2′W; do not substitute an earlier fix. • Use the chart to check the vessel’s location relative to charted regulatory areas and to measure a landmark’s bearing/range relative to the vessel. • For the fathometer choice, compare the charted depth at the 1245 position with the expected sounder reading; account for the stated 33-foot deep draft only if the question or chart datum requires it.

💭 Think About

• At the 1245 position established in step 7, what charted boundary or designation determines which Rules of the Road apply, and is the vessel actually within that area? • From the plotted position, can you verify the stated reef range and whether its bearing lies forward of the beam on the starboard side? • What depth is charted at the fix, and does that support the proposed fathometer reading? Check the chart’s soundings and units rather than inferring depth from draft alone.

✅ Before You Answer

• Use the exact 1245 position from step 7, not the later Outer Range alignment or earlier running fixes. • Check chart symbols/limits and the relevant Navigation Rules before choosing a rules-of-the-road statement. • Verify both the reef’s range and relative bearing and the sounder’s depth and units directly from the chart.
