Deck General USCG Question #5289 (Set 164)

Which is TRUE for a sailing vessel with the wind coming from 020° relative?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — The vessel is coming about

A relative wind at 020 degrees approaches nearly directly off the bow on the starboard side. As the vessel maneuvers through the eye of the wind to shift tacks, crossing 020 degrees indicates the critical transition phase of coming about or tacking through the wind.
