Chartwork - quick sketch diagrams

Notes for Lecturer:

To be used in conjunction with mini white boards/ blank paper
Students to sketch how the position lines and different tracks would appear

• #1 – Suffering • #7 – Running fix (ranges)
• #2 – Counteracting (STW given) • #8 – Celestial running fix
• #3 – Counteracting (ETA) • #9 - Beam bearing
• #4 – HZA and transit • #10 – CPA
• #5 – Running fix (brg) • #11 – Actual set and drift (to do)
• #6 – Celestial fix • #12 – Suffering multiple legs
 1. Your vessel is steering 080T, at a speed of 8 knots, the tide is setting 200T at 2knots, a
Northerly wind is causing 5 degrees of leeway.
Sketch the DR position and EP after 1.5 hours steaming time
Label the tracks correctly

 4. At 1100 your vessel takes the following bearings;
Lighthouse ͚A͛brg 260C, Lighthouse ͚B͛brg 190C.
At the same time a chimney and a hill of 254metres was in transit.

6. At 2100 A vessel in a DR position of 50 00N 006 00W obtained a sight of planet Venus,
which gave an intercept of 2nm away, brg 220T.
At the same time a sight of the star Aldebaran gave an intercept of nil, brg 110T.
