Apply the proper scale Distance 400 x : 1 Speed 3:1 Plot the formations course and speed Plot the guides initial and end positions Draw a circle around your ship at the 1600x range Draw two relative tracks so to join the initial and end positions while not coming within 1600x of your ship Relative track 1 Relative track 2

Build a relvel triangle for the first relative track to get your first course to steer Relative track 1 Relative track 2 Relative speed 1 Measure your available speed on the 3:1 scale Draw your first course to steer Distance 400x : 1 Speed 3:1

Second course to steer 017° 2 First course to steer 002° Build the second triangle for the second relative track to get the second course to steer Distance 400 x : 1 Speed 3:1

Distance 1 = 1650 x Distance 2 = 4100 x Speed 2 = 8.4 kts Second course to steer 017° First course to steer 002° Time = Distance (nm) / Speed (kts) Speed 1 = 10.4 kts Time 1 = nm / 10.4 kts 4 mins 54 secs Time 2 = 2.05 nm / 8.4 kts 14 mins 38 secs Total time = 4 mins 54 secs +14 mins 38 secs 19 mins 32 secs How long will it take? Distance 400 x : 1 Speed 3:1
