The vessel's course is 116°psc, the variation for the locality is 25°W and the deviation is 6°W. What is the true course made good if a northerly wind produces 1° leeway?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How to convert a standard compass course (psc) to true course using deviation and variation • The rule of thumb: "West is Best, East is Least" when applying deviation and variation • How leeway from a northerly wind affects the course made good (does it push you to the right or left of your heading?)

💭 Think About

• Start from 116°psc. In what order do you apply deviation and variation to reach a true course, and are they added or subtracted when they are West? • Once you have the true course through the water, think about a wind from the north. On a course of about 116°, does that wind tend to push your track to the south (right) or to the north (left) on the chart? • Should the 1° leeway be added to or subtracted from your true course through the water to get the true course made good?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you treat both deviation 6°W and variation 25°W with the correct sign (don’t mix up add vs subtract). • Confirm that you apply leeway last, after you have converted all the way to a true course through the water. • Sketch a quick compass rose: mark your approximate course 116° and a north wind; check visually which way the track will be pushed before deciding whether to move the true course clockwise or counterclockwise.
