You are steering 318°psc. A northeasterly wind causes 3° of leeway. The variation is 14°E and the deviation table is extracted below. What will be the true course made good? DEVIATION TABLE Magnetic Heading  Deviation 300° 2°E 315° 0 330° 2°W

Accepted Answer

Option C: 329°T. Convert compass course to magnetic using deviation from the table (0° for 315° psc, so 318° psc is 318° magnetic), apply easterly variation to get true heading (332°T), and apply northeasterly wind leeway (3° to starboard/right) to find true course made good at 329°T.
