🔍 Key Concepts

• Williamson turn sequence steps and the purpose of each stage • How many degrees off the original course you normally wait before changing rudder during a Williamson turn • Why maintaining or adjusting rudder angle is critical for tracking back along your original trackline

💭 Think About

• Think through the standard Williamson turn: what is the very first rudder action, and what is supposed to happen when the vessel has turned a certain number of degrees from the original course? • Ask yourself: at about 60° from your original heading, are you already aligning back on your reciprocal course, or are you still in the phase of creating the initial part of the turn? • Consider what each option would do to the ship’s path: which choice best sets you up to come back on your original track line to recover a person overboard?

✅ Before You Answer

• Know the typical heading change (in degrees) from the original course at which you alter the rudder during a Williamson turn • Confirm which action would help the ship eventually steady up on the reciprocal of the original course • Eliminate any options that would cause you to lose speed too early or prevent you from returning accurately to your original track line
