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 speed will you make good along the track line?

Correct Answer: Option D — 13.0 knots

The Speed Made Good is the projection of the ship's velocity vector onto the track line after compensating for the set and drift. Solving the vector triangle for a 035°T track with a 2-knot current results in a speed of 13.0 knots along the track.
