Your vessel is on course 180°T speed 22 knots. The apparent wind is from 70° off the port bow, speed 20 knots. The true direction and speed of the wind are __________.

Correct Answer: Option B — 51°T, 24.0 knots

Wind vector triangle resolution per Bowditch procedures combines true vessel heading and speed with apparent wind to yield true wind direction and speed. True wind equals apparent wind vector minus ship's head vector, resolving to 51°T at 24.0 knots.
