• For a boat to float in equilibrium:
• Moving a weight horizontally from the centreline to starboard will cause:
• The safest situation for a vessel is:
• Regarding lifejackets:
• On hand flares, rockets and smoke signals, mark the correct answer:
• What equipment is used to make a boat in trouble more visible?
• The portable extinguishers carried on board:
• The horizontal pressure gradient lets us:
• If we are talking of a warm front:
• Eulerian wind is:
• Which clouds, by height, are middle clouds?
• With a psychrometer, what can we forecast?
• If we press “MARK” on our GPS plotter, it gives us:
• How many degrees of arc does the Sun travel in one hour?
• Echo movements on the radar screen are:
• If we could walk all the way round a great circle of the Earth, we would cover:
• The radar “rain clutter” control is used to:
• The 180º meridian, or Greenwich lower meridian, is the meridian:
• When the Sun passes twice in succession over the Greenwich meridian, the civil time elapsed is called:
• Heading for the Strait in the Alboran Sea at 01:00 ship’s time in GPS position 35º 45.2' N – 004º 50.3' W, a vessel sets course for Punta Carbonera lighthouse (36º 14.7' N – 005º 18.1' W) under a steady fresh SE breeze at 6 knots. What is the direct rhumb-line course?
• At HRB 0605 in DR position 36º 10' N – 005º 14' W, you observe Polaris at compass azimuth 354º and head for Ceuta (green entrance light) at 8 knots in a current Rc = N76E at Ihc = 3 knots. Calculate the compass course to Ceuta:
• On arrival at Ceuta, they berth at the Club Náutico CAS with a charted sounding = 2 metres, the yacht’s maximum draught being 2 metres. From the Tide Tables: height of nearest low water = 0.29 metres and additive correction for the arrival interval = 0.33 metres. They work out the water under the keel at that moment:
• At HRB 1345 outside the TSS, you simultaneously take compass bearings Da Punta Paloma = 061º, Da Punta de Gracia = 018º and Da Trafalgar = 325º with Ct = 6º NW. Plot your position:
• At HRB 1445 you steer Rv = 280º at 8 knots in fog, observing radar true bearing Dv Trafalgar = 015º; maintaining course and speed, at HRB 1515 you observe Dv Trafalgar = 060º. Calculate your position at HRB 1445:
• At HRB 1800, 15' due South true of Trafalgar lighthouse, you set course for Tangier (breakwater end light) under sail at 8 knots with a fresh NE wind causing 5º leeway (variation 2º W, deviation +6º). Calculate the compass course:
