I was struggling with this running fix concept for some odd reason and this video was perfect! Idk why in other videos people run a parallel course line and mark the transfers off on those, but imo it gets too messy and too many things going on to keep track of. Your method was simple and clean! Many thanks again
Very well done! A great explanation for this. I just finished my RYA Offshore course and had questions until I saw this. Now it's all very clear.thanks!!!
Using the same point you can double the angle to get the fix. If the point bears 38 degrees less than your heading, take the LOP. Using your heading and speed when the angle from your bow is 76 degrees less than your heading then the distance traveled between sights is equal to the distance from the point at the time of the second sight. A bearing and a range is a fix.

A Portland plotter would save a lot of faffing.
how did you know you are 2 miles out?
