🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearing is measured from your ship’s bow, clockwise, 000°–360° • "Broad on the quarter" is a specific traditional bearing term between the beam and directly astern • Difference between starboard beam, starboard quarter, and broad on the quarter

💭 Think About

• First, picture the ship’s heading as 000° relative and mark where 090°, 135°, 180°, etc., would be around you • Decide which angle range covers the starboard beam, which covers the starboard quarter, and then where “broad on” that quarter would fall • Eliminate any options that would clearly be on the port side or ahead of the beam

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that starboard means to the right of the bow (clockwise from 000° relative) • Confirm that any bearing on the quarter must be aft of the beam but forward of dead astern • Check which of the listed angles best matches a position described as broad on the starboard quarter, not fine or dead on the quarter
