In reference to the maneuvering of a vessel, which is TRUE regarding advance?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Advance and transfer definitions in turning-circle trials • Difference between distance gained along the original course line vs. at right angles to it • How many degrees of heading change are used when measuring maximum advance on a turning circle

💭 Think About

• When a ship starts a turn from a steady course, in what direction is "advance" actually measured relative to the original course line? • Look at a typical turning-circle diagram: where is the longest distance from the point where the rudder is put over measured along the original course line? • Which option is confusing advance with transfer (sideways movement) or with the pivot point of the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can clearly state: Advance = distance measured in which direction from the original course line? • Identify which answers are talking about distance along the original course vs. distance at right angles to it • Ignore any option that describes the motion of the pivot point, since that is not how advance is defined

Question 1 of 27070

In reference to the maneuvering of a vessel, which is TRUE regarding advance?

The advance will be maximum when the vessel has turned through 90 degrees from the base course

Advance is the measurement of the shifting of the pivoting point of the vessel

The vessel's advance is the distance gained at right angles to the base course

The advance will be maximum when the vessel has turned through 180 degrees from the base course
