You have determined the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel by taking 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 90°?

Correct Answer: Option A — 400 yards

Transfer is the lateral distance a vessel moves from its original course line to its position at a specific point in a turn. In illustration D035DG, the 90-degree turn coordinate indicates a lateral displacement of 400 yards from the original track, defining the transfer for that specific heading change.
