You desire to make good a true course of 132°. The variation is 10°W, magnetic compass deviation is 5°E, and gyrocompass error is 5°W. A northeast by east wind produces a 5° leeway. What is the course to steer per standard magnetic compass to make the true course good?

Correct Answer: Option A — 132°psc

A NE by E wind pushes the vessel toward the SW (225°). To maintain a 132°T track, apply 5° of leeway to the left, resulting in 127°T. Converting 127°T to magnetic (add 10°W variation) gives 137°M. Subtracting 5°E deviation yields 132°psc.
