🔍 Key Concepts

• Leeway and how wind from the northwest will push your vessel off course • Difference between psc (per standard compass) and pgc (per gyro compass) when choosing a course • Plotting a track to arrive at a point north of a buoy while leaving another buoy to starboard

💭 Think About

• When the wind is from the northwest, in which direction will your vessel tend to drift, and how should that affect your steered course? • How does a 6° leeway correction change the course you steer compared to the desired track on the chart? • What is the practical difference between a course given as psc versus pgc when you are selecting from the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which side of each buoy (R”14” and Y”NCA”) your intended track passes on, using a quick sketch or mental plot • Confirm whether the course you choose should be toward or away from the wind after applying leeway • Check that the final course you pick uses the correct reference (psc vs pgc) that matches the rest of the problem’s data
