Question 59 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Reaching on the starboard tack. When the wind is coming from 090° relative (directly from the east), the sailing vessel would be in a reaching position, with the wind coming from the starboard side. This is considered reaching on the starboard tack. The other options are incorrect because: A) Close hauled on the port tack would have the wind coming from the port side, not the starboard side. C) Close hauled on the starboard tack would have the wind coming from a different direction, not 090° relative. D) On a broad reach on the starboard tack would have the wind coming from a different angle, not directly from 090° relative.
