Dividers: drag from one point to another on the chart

Start a drag on a charted object or buoy and it snaps to it. The readout gives the true bearing (and magnetic, 7°W) from where you start to where you are, and the distance in nautical miles.

Skill 6 · Course to steerProblem 20008

Steer for Bell buoy "HS" across a 2.5-knot current.
