- Q134 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
452. Your vessel is steering 157° T at 18 knots. At 2018 a light bears 208° T. At 2044 the same light bears 232° T. What will be your distance off when abeam?
The distance off when abeam is 14.4 NM. This was determined by calculating the distance run between bearings, finding the relative bearings, and using trigonometry to solve for the perpendicular distance based on the right triangles formed by the ship's track, the line of sight to the light, and the perpendicular at the abeam point.
