70% to passYou are conducting trials to determine the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel. While making a turn, you take ranges and bearings of an isolated light. The results are shown in illustration D034DG below. What is the transfer for a turn of 45°?
A
130 yards
B
165 yards
C
195 yards
D
230 yards
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 130 yards. The transfer for a turn of 45 degrees is the distance the vessel moves perpendicular to its original course during the turn. Based on the information provided in the illustration D034DG, the transfer for a 45-degree turn is 130 yards. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the transfer distance shown in the illustration. Option B (165 yards) and Option C (195 yards) are too large, while Option D (230 yards) is significantly larger than the transfer distance depicted.
