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 263004

Two legs from a 1330 fix: where is the 1415 DR?

At 1330 you fix your position 014°T, 1.8 nm from Mill stack. You steer 300°T at 4.5 kn until 1400, then 169°T at 7.7 kn until 1415.

Give the 1415 DR position as the true bearing FROM Mill stack 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).

Given
1330 fix	014°T, 1.8 nm from Mill stack
Leg 1	300°T, 4.5 kn, 1330 to 1400
Leg 2	169°T, 7.7 kn, 1400 to 1415
