🔍 Key Concepts

• Williamson Turn standard maneuver for man-overboard recovery on ships • The sequence of rudder commands and heading changes in a Williamson Turn • Relationship between new headings and the original course when executing the turn

💭 Think About

• Start from the original course 090°T and mentally walk through the classic Williamson Turn steps: what is the first rudder order and when is it changed? • Ask yourself: in a standard textbook Williamson Turn, do engines normally keep the same setting initially, or are they stopped immediately? • Compare the headings given (150°T and 270°T) to the usual "alter course by a certain amount, then steady on reciprocal" pattern of the Williamson Turn.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the correct heading at which the helm is shifted from one side to the other in a Williamson Turn starting from 090°T. • Check whether engine orders (such as stopping engines) are normally listed as part of the Williamson Turn procedure, or if the maneuver describes helm and heading only. • Confirm that the final heading of the maneuver is the reciprocal of the original course and see which option does not match the standard sequence.
