🔍 Key Concepts

• Scharnow Turn vs. Williamson Turn – when each is normally used • Difference between immediate action and delayed action man overboard procedures • How each turn relates to the original track line and reciprocal course

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In practice, which maneuver is usually taught for a man overboard that is noticed immediately, and which is preferred when the person is reported missing after some time? • Think about what the Scharnow Turn is designed to accomplish relative to the vessel’s original course line once the maneuver is complete. • Consider which choice describes something that is special or unique about the Scharnow Turn, rather than something that both turns can do.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which maneuver is primarily recommended for delayed action man overboard situations in standard seamanship texts or your license prep materials. • Check which maneuver is specifically designed to bring the vessel back well astern on the original track line on a reciprocal course. • Eliminate any options that describe characteristics that are true of both the Scharnow and Williamson turns, not just one of them.
