Chartwork Tutorial: Course To Steer

[@lindsayfitch7605]

Your videos are really helpful and clear! They are helping me with my US Sailing coastal navigation class. Thank you!

[@snow8581]

Excellent description! Clear and concise explanation of how to stay on a true course.

[@olisimmons2785]

Great use of animations along a simple to understand explanation! Thank you.

[@icetea1455]

more chartworks pls this series is very informative :)

[@davidwhite6440]

Great tutorial, however I was taught, and I thought it was convention, that the ground track was indicated by 2 arrows ( 2 feet on the ground ) and the water track by one arrow.

[@kenlee-97]

But 1 arrow can also mean the D.r. position, and 2 arrows signify the water track or E.p. (estimated position). (I STAND CORRECTED- I RETRACT THIS COMMENT- AS IT'S INCORRECT- AS NOTED BY OTHERS IN THIS COMMENT THREAD ) ❤

[@johnstarkie9948]

That’s what I was taught, and that’s what I teach.

Thanks!, nice video, but ground tracks (Course over ground or course made good - however you call it) is denoted with 2 arrows. Instead, water tracks ( Course to Steer or Heading) shall be denoted with 1 arrow. If your helmsman follows that plot, eventually would end east off your intended destination.

[@olisimmons2785]

Agreed; "2 Feet on the Ground" means 2 for Ground track. > = CTS >> =Ground Track >>> = Tidal vector.

[@eljefe1153]

You got always on the point. So much fun to learn. Thanks.

[@TheSilmarallion]

Stumbled upon your vids, thanks you. Busy with my prep for Class 1 Coxn at NSRI

[@eriku785]

Thank you for the easy to follow instruction.

[@pkb2005]

I got here from sextant tutorials... Got hooked up to such clear explanations.. very interesting and educative short videos... Great work 👍🏼

[@RefreshMaritime]

Thanks!

[@lawrenceklaas3966]

Excellent, simple presentation. With one exception. Are you using proper terms? Tide is the vertical movement of water. Current is the horizontal movement of water. Given how often those terms are used in error, I completely understand how that crept into your otherwise superb presentation.

[@kunalmahajan7178]

Yes, please do make video on tide App.. & doesn't water track indicated by 1 arrow & ground track by 2!! ?

[@goaro2007]

Why the convention. (one arrow three arrows how it come to this), for the arrows?

[@michaellinehan710]

Love the chartwork videos, wish I had these as a cadet! After we're done with tides, what about a video on tidal theory and the tide diamonds/tidal graphs to work out HoT?

[@michaellinehan710]

Lmao just got to your part about tides after commenting too early...

[@matthewglazer]

Great videos, keep them coming!

[@josephlai9759]

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

[@skilledsailor]

I'm a great fan of your work

[@RefreshMaritime]

Thanks

[@virajrajitha5798]

Thankyou nice video... please can you elaborate finally which course and speed shoud mentioned along the path... ( if im correct it is speed over ground and original bearing or something else )

[@bboydeezy2222]

Very nice explanation

[@craigbrown9574]

Fantastic. Keep making videos

[@NexGaming311]

Great sir but i didn't not understand why are you Put singal arrow for Ground track because group track two arrow and WT is a Single Track.

[@uasupply]

useful, thanks!👍

[@johnanderson-xo6pt]

Your explanations are so easy to follow, I love them. However I believe that at 3 min 55 sec you say that after 1 hr you will be at the end of your construction triangle. Just to make sure I completely understand this I don't think you will, as you SOG will have been 7.2 kts so you will be 0.8 N.M. short?

[@JG-yx1to]

Hi. Could you please explain to me the difference between your course to steer video and set and drift video. I got confused with the tracks and the arrows. Thx

[@AhmedSaad-ec6wd]

thanks sir

[@user-pi2fj6xs6q]

Wow, just awesome

[@rohitcharles007]

Can you please send the basic concept of the charts and plotting.

[@hollandcollegemarinecentre9737]

@CasualNavigationAcademy great video but this contradicts your video on "working with set and drift on a nautical chart". It should be two arrows for course over ground, one arrow for course to steer!

[@stevestephen9817]

What is this software

[@-BKR-]

why have you illustrated the water and ground track the wrong way round

[@tonyvokes935]

You've got your arrows wrong - 2 arrows for over the ground,1 arrow for course to steer and your tide only lasts for half the distance!

[@luamanshah6185]

Sir how to create route and what aid is dangerous in route , I mean that can we draw route on submarine cable

[@kenlee-97]

Yes- but never anchoring on submarine cable obviously...

[@SarmientoRay]

What does the arrows in the set of tide means? Thanks

[@sarahlong5886]

Three arrows just differentiates it from the water track (one arrow, it's the only error in the video) and the ground track (two arrows), nothing more complex than that. You can remember it by the ground track needing two feet on the ground, and the tide track is the most complicated so it gets three. Then only the water track is left, so gets one arrow.

[@Zanelli96]

what happend if the speed its bigger than your 2 waypoint?

[@kenlee-97]

It doesn't matters as your final "Transferred position " WILL GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL POSITION...

[@TheTraderzz]

i guess the arrows are wrong for corse to steer we put single arrow on the line and for Course over ground we put 2 arrows

[@cd4222]

Not sure why we still are teaching things like paper charts or course to steer when we have electronic devices on the boat, as well as tablets and smartphones that make following a heading and automatically correcting for wind and currents a breeze and back each other up! I don’t remember the last time I used a paper road map!
