Question 5078 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 12.38 feet. The tip of can (TOC) position should be at 12.38 feet to meet the leg strength requirements for the COASTAL DRILLER in ocean transit with winds not exceeding 70 knots. This is based on the regulations outlined in the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, which require the TOC position to be calculated based on the vessel's dimensions and the expected environmental conditions. The other options are incorrect because: A) 0.00 feet (flush with bottom of hull) would not provide the necessary leg strength. B) 1.20 feet is too short to meet the requirements. D) 60.50 feet is too long and would be an excessive distance for the TOC position.
