You have determined the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel by taking the radar ranges and bearings of an isolated light while making a turn. The results are shown in illustration D035DG below. What is the transfer for a turn of 30°?

Correct Answer: Option D — 40 yards

Transfer is the lateral distance from the original course line to the vessel's position during a turn. According to the maneuvering data in illustration D035DG, at the 30-degree point of the turn, the vessel has moved 40 yards laterally from its original track, indicating the initial phase of the turn.
