Question 74 Deck General

The correct answer is B) On a broad reach. When the wind is coming from 220° relative, the sailing vessel would be on a broad reach. In this situation, the wind is blowing from the side of the vessel at an angle of approximately 135-150 degrees to the vessel's heading, putting the vessel in a broad reach position. The other options are incorrect because: A) Close hauled on the starboard tack would have the wind coming from 225-240 degrees relative. C) Running before the wind would have the wind coming from 180 degrees relative. D) Close hauled on the port tack would have the wind coming from 140-155 degrees relative.
