14 PLOTTING EXERCISES DR Plotting Exercise 1 Use the blank practice plotting and log sheets provided on the following pages. You may find it helpful to fill in a logbook page as you go along, especially for TVMDC. The variation is 10 West. You depart at 09:30 from position N W at a speed of 4 knots on a compass course of 045. Plot the position as a GPS fix. After two hours you turn onto a compass heading of 090. Your speed remains at 4 knots. 90 minutes later you speed drops to 2 knots. You sail on for another hour hoping the wind will increase. It doesn t and you decide to drop sails and motor back to your departure point. What compass course do you need to steer and what time, assuming a speed of 6 knots, will you arrive? Hints: Remember to use the variation. Remember to use the deviation table. Plot everything in degrees true.

Variation 12 E A to B Leg knots While completing the log calculate an B to C Leg knots ETA for each letter. C to D Leg knots Note Lat & Long for all fixes and DR s. D to E Leg knots E to A Leg knots b) Now on the second plotting sheet do the same cruise in reverse as shown in the following table starting at 08:45. Variation 10 W Assume each letter becomes a fix when you arrive at it. A to E Leg knots While completing the log calculate an E to D Leg knots ETA for each letter.

22 DR Plotting Exercise 3 Use Starfish Island plotting sheet (next Page), variation 3.5 E 1999 (2 W). Imagine you are on the boat as you do this exercise. Complete the plot and log sheet noting position of all DR s as you progress. You depart from position N W at Plot this as a GPS fix. You set a course to arrive at a point 1.1 miles south of Tip O Bay light. Your speed is 5.6 knots. When you arrive at this point you change to compass course to 062. At what time do you get closest to land and how far off will you be? At 1040 you head due north at a speed of 6.0 knots. At 1120 you change course to point the boat at the water tower and your speed drops to 3.1 knots. At 1220 you change compass course to 305 and speed increases to 4.0 knots. How far were you from the water tower when you changed course? At 1320 you head due west (true), speed changes to 2.7 knots. At 1420 you head back to your starting point at a speed of 3.9 knots. What time do you expect to arrive back at the start?
