The true course between two points is 106°. Your gyrocompass has an error of 2°E and you make an allowance of 2° leeway for a south wind. What gyro course should be steered to make the true course good?

Correct Answer: Option A — 106°pgc

A south wind pushes the vessel toward the north. To maintain 106°T, steer 2° to the right (108°T). With 2°E gyro error, the gyro course is 108°T minus 2°E error, resulting in 106°pgc. The leeway and gyro error effectively cancel each other out in this scenario.
