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 356002

Two legs from a 1515 fix: where is the 1620 DR?

At 1515 you fix your position 081°T, 2.1 nm from Westfield church spire. You steer 128°T at 5.9 kn until 1545, then 024°T at 6.1 kn until 1620.

Give the 1620 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).

Given
1515 fix	081°T, 2.1 nm from Westfield church spire
Leg 1	128°T, 5.9 kn, 1515 to 1545
Leg 2	024°T, 6.1 kn, 1545 to 1620
