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 3 · Dead reckoningProblem 254001

Two legs from a 0750 fix: where is the 0810 DR?

At 0750 you fix your position 309°T, 2.4 nm from Tern Island tower. You steer 321°T at 5.0 kn until 0800, then 113°T at 4.9 kn until 0810.

Give the 0810 DR position as the true bearing FROM Tern Island tower to the DR, and the distance. Courses are true and speeds are through the water; dead reckoning ignores current and leeway.

Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).
