You wish to make good a course of 035°T while turning for an engine speed of 12 knots. The set is 340°T, and the drift is 2 knots. What course should you steer?

Correct Answer: Option C — 044°T

Compensating for a set of 340°T while intending to make good 035°T requires steering to the right of the track. Vector analysis on a maneuvering board confirms that a heading of 044°T is necessary to maintain the desired track line against the 2-knot drift.
