While enroute from Sydney to the Panama Canal a vessel's true course is 071°. Variation is 14°E. Deviation is 4°W. A northerly breeze causes 2° leeway. What course would you steer psc in order to make good the true course?

Correct Answer: Option D — 059°psc

A northerly breeze causes 2° leeway, pushing the vessel south; steer 073°T to compensate. Using the compass error formula (Variation 14°E, Deviation 4°W = 10°E total error), apply the error to the true course. Since Compass Least is Best, subtract 10° from 073°T to result in 063°psc, adjusted for leeway.
