Your vessel is steering course 027° per standard magnetic compass (psc), variation for the area is 19°W, and deviation is 2°E. The wind is from the north-northwest, producing a 5° leeway. What true course are you making good?

Correct Answer: Option D — 015°T

Convert compass to true: 027°psc + 2°E (Dev) = 029°M. 029°M - 19°W (Var) = 010°T. A north-northwest wind pushes the vessel to the east, requiring a 5° leeway correction to the west. Adding 5° to 010°T results in a true course made good of 015°T.
