well explained, but many tutors never seem to explain the mile markings down the side of the chart or tidal diamonds to get the rough direction and rate. I only mention this as is the main question that comes up in the boat club from people just starting to sail.
Shouldn't you have measured your water track as 6NM from the tidal point to the ground track, rather than just joining the tidal point to 6NM from starting point along the ground track? Doesn't make much difference on this flow direction, but if tide was running at 180 for example, this would make a big difference!
I am in the process of going for my Day Skipper cert. Can you please explain how you arbitrarily obtained a wind speed that automatically turned into a 10deg compass variation. Taking tide into consideration when setting course to steer you calculated, then just chucked into the calculation a number from nowhere. Or have i missed something?
@@serdarsenol7307 you calculate leeway from the line that your boat leaves on the water, i.e. you see a line on the water that can be 3 degrees from the centerline of the boat, Then you add those 3 degrees to your True course.
Nice thanks. I'm revising for the day skipper exam. Nice and slow, it really helps.

Nice explanation, thanks!!!
really good vids, and have helped me alot. THANK!
And how EXACTLY do you come up with 10 degrees of leeway...?

I'm pretty sure that's what she did look again at 2.45
:0 using pen on the chart!?!?
should be punished
How can one determine then the speed to proceed to arrive at a particular point at a given time while accounting for tidal stream?.thank you
Did we just guess the leeway or work it out the same way as tide? Strength in knots and direction?

I have the same question.how did you decide that wind speed affect on the course by 10 deg?

They told us that you learn how to calculate leeway on the Yacht master course.. And here the leeway is given.
Where did you get the 7 degrees true-to-magnetic correction from to correct 33 to 40 degrees?
Compass rose.
7 degres variation add 33... 40
Can't bear to watch any more. Absolute sacrilege using a black ink marker on the chart. You should be ashamed.
