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 711002

Two legs from a 1110 fix: where is the 1135 DR?

At 1110 you fix your position 246°T, 3.2 nm from Tern Island tower. You steer 151°T at 6.2 kn until 1125, then 203°T at 6.7 kn until 1135.

Give the 1135 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).
