🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearing scale (0°–360° measured clockwise from the ship’s bow) • Meaning of ‘on the beam’ (relative to the ship’s heading) • Difference between relative bearing and true bearing

💭 Think About

• If the bow is 000° relative, what relative bearing corresponds to an object directly out on the starboard side? • How many degrees to the right of the bow is an object on the starboard beam? • On a 0–360° clockwise scale from the bow, where does a point exactly abeam to starboard fall?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are using relative bearing (from the ship’s bow), not compass/true bearing. • Confirm that starboard means to the right-hand side when facing forward. • Verify that an object ‘on the beam’ is exactly abeam, not ahead or abaft (behind) the beam.
