A la hora de llegada al puerto de Barbate, atracan en un lugar de la Marina con sonda de carta = 2 metros, siendo el calado máximo del yate = 2 metros y obtienen del Anuario de Mareas, los siguientes datos: altura de la bajamar más próxima = 0,54 metros, corrección aditiva para el intervalo horario de lIegada = 0,36 metros: y calculan la sonda bajo la quilla en ese instante:On arrival at the port of Barbate, they berth in the Marina with a charted sounding = 2 metres, the yacht’s maximum draught being 2 metres, and obtain from the Tide Tables: height of nearest low water = 0.54 metres, additive correction for the arrival interval = 0.36 metres, and work out the water under the keel at that moment:
Show the answer
Correct answer: d) 0.90 m
Why it is correct
2 + 0.54 + 0.36 − 2 = 0.90 m.
Why the others are not
- a) The result is different.
- b) The result is different.
- c) The result is different.
How to work it out in the exam
- Water under the keel = charted sounding + height of tide − draught.
- The height of tide is the low water plus the additive correction from the Anuario.
