- Q108 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
43. You are underway and intend to make good a course of 088°T. You experience a current with a set and drift of 300°T at 2.4 knots, and a southerly wind produces a leeway of 3°. You adjust your course to compensate for the current and leeway, while maintaining an engine speed of 16 knots. What will be your speed made good over your intended course of 088°T?
To compensate for current and leeway while maintaining 16 knots, resolve the current into along-track and cross-track components, steer to cancel the cross-track set, and sum the along-track component with the through-water speed to determine speed made good, resulting in 13.9 knots.
