• Which wave feature is the time between two crests passing the same point?
• How are stratocumulus classified by height?
• What is the main cause of density currents?
• At sea, with calm wind and regular waves whose wavelength far exceeds their height, with rounded crests that do not break, we are sailing in:
• By the cooling process that forms them, fogs are mainly classed as:
• The geostrophic wind:
• How can we define the dew point?
• According to the definition of the prime meridian:
• The tropics are the two parallels lying respectively:
• On passage it is important to note GNSS positions on the paper chart. For this we must take into account:
• Among other things, sailing directions contain data on:
• By definition, the compass course generally differs from the true course because of:
• What does SOG mean in navigation?
• On ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System):
• Local civil time is the time:
• What can stop a pleasure boat’s AIS detecting a nearby boat?
• On 15 November 2025 steering Ra = 151º at 8 knots (deviation 1.5º E), Da Cabo Roche = 034º at 10:30 and radar distance to Cape Trafalgar = 7 miles at 10:50. Find your true position at 10:50:
• At 11:00 ship’s time, 5 miles NW true of Cape Spartel in a current setting Rc = 045º at Ihc = 3 knots, you steer Ra = 060º at 12 knots engine speed (dm = 2º W, deviation = 2º E). What are the course and speed made good?
• At 12:00, 2' W of Cabo Roche at 10 knots, you steer Ra = 230º (dm 2º W, dev 3º W, N wind 8º leeway) to 13:00; then head for Spartel (Rc = 090º, Ihc = 2 kn, dev 1º W, W wind 10º leeway) to 15:00; then Ra = 082º (dev 10º E) to 16:00. Find 13:00 Ra and 16:00 position:
• At l= 50º 30' N and L= 030º 50' W, we sail on true course 090º for 200 miles. Calculate the arrival position.
• At 5.5 miles from Tangier port breakwater head on the opposition line of Punta Paloma and Punta Malabata lighthouses, find your simultaneous position:
• Which answer is closest to the direct course and distance between A (l= 43º49´N; L= 007º54’W) and B (l= 43º40’N; L=001º55’W)?
