1 Stars and Compass Trophy and Novice Paper 2014 The Stars and Compass Trophy was established to promote the use and development of traditional navigation skills. This year, in a bid to encourage novice navigators we have created a new NOVICE Award that will be awarded for the best performance in Part A of the Paper by someone that has not previously entered this competition.you can use any resource material you like ( including the internet) to help you find the answers. The whole point of the Novice paper is to encourage you to have a go at increasing your navigation skills and to discover how much fun this can be. The actual Stars and Compass Trophy will be awarded to whoever gets the best combined result for both sections A and B. Novices are welcome to have a go at all or some of the questions in section B. The winners will be announced at the RBYC Presentation Night Friday July 12th Please show ALL steps and copies of chart work used to arrive at your answers. Neatness is essential and hand written papers are fine so long as they are easy to read. Chart 143 was used in setting the paper. Please clearly mark your paper with your name, contact details and if you have previously submitted an entry to the Stars and Compass Trophy competition. Papers need to handed into the RBYC Office by 5 pm Friday the 20th June at the absolute latest and earlier would be greatly appreciated. Model answers to the paper will NOT be provided but you can collect your marked papers from the office after Monday June 30.

7 Section B Question 1. In the north end of Port Phillip Bay you take a 3 point fix and find the hand held compass readings are: Point Ormond deg, Fawkner Beacon deg, Altona Refining Tower deg. Where are you? Give the Lat/ Long of your position. From here you decide that you want a coffee at a restaurant near a Light house in Port Melbourne marked on the Chart FL. 5s 20M, ISO.WRG.15M&F.Bu.8M. What do these abbreviations mean? Assuming 3 knots boat speed, nil deviation, 2 knots of tide 090 deg T, what is your course to steer?? Explain and show workings for each step. The breeze is gentle so you turn on your engine to supplement the drive from your sails. What day shape should you display?
8 Section B Question 2. On Sunday the 2 nd Feb, 2014, you plan to sail to Queenscliff Harbour Marina where after docking your boat in a friends borrowed pen you will enjoy a morning walk to be followed by a lovely lunch at a restaurant with your crew and friends.after this you aim to leave and enjoy a night sail to Apollo Bay. After checking your charts you notice that the entrance to the area of the borrowed pen has a charted depth of 1.5m.Your boat had a draft of 2m and you wish to allow a safety margin of 0.2m under your keel. The Marina is fully booked on this day so you have no choice but to try for the above pen. Using the Standard Tidal Curve supplied calculate The earliest time of arrival so to safely enter the area, without hitting the bottom. The latest time of departure. The expected currents in the Queenscliff Cut at the above calculated times. What other consideration should you make in planning your exit time from the harbour? As you stumble out of the restaurant at 4.30 pm you notice that the wind has unexpectedly markedly strengthened to a 30 knot southwesterly. What conditions might you experience at the Rip if you continue? What about if you left 3 hours later? Would you change your plans? If you decide to stay and leave the next day what is the earliest time you could exit the pen in full daylight after a good sleep in. What time could you safely exit if you leave very early next morning?
9 Section B Question 3. After leaving Queenscliff, you sail up a channel in an almost northerly direction for approximately 1 hour and then you arrive at a big structure noted on the charts to have the light sequence FL.WR.6s14/11M. What do these abbreviations mean? Where are you? Give its name and lat / long. As the sailing conditions are great you decide to head for Martha Cove Marina and as your engine is overheating a little you want to sail as much as possible. You have a stiff 20 knot breeze blowing very steadily from due east so the best course you can hold is 45 deg. to the wind.you estimate a leeway of 5 deg. and the super spring tides are causing a current of 2 knots 045deg M. Your ships compass has been beautifully balanced so you can ignore deviation. What tack should you choose first and why? You plan to continue on the chosen tack for 1 hour. Where will you be then? (ie predict your estimated position after 1hour ) What do you predict your SOG to be over that hour? After the planned 1hour of sailing you note the time to be 1200 hours and you tack again, sailing close on the wind as before with the same wind and current conditions as above. What is your course to steer for a safe approach to Martha Cove and what is your ETA at the Marina?
