Question 1100Navigation General

The correct answer is D) Place the wind on the starboard bow and hold that course. In the Northern Hemisphere, when a vessel is in the right semicircle of a tropical cyclone, the proper action is to place the wind on the starboard bow and hold that course. This allows the vessel to proceed out of the dangerous right semicircle of the storm, where winds and seas are typically the most severe. The other options would either place the vessel in an increasingly dangerous position within the storm or would not effectively maneuver the vessel out of the storm's path.
