This is awesome man! This video helped me a lot! Hope you post more knowledgeable videos like these to study! ☺️☺️

I’m so glad!

I used to have to report relative bearing and target angle. When I first started I made a waterproof chart and just gauged it on that.

[@user-pi2fj6xs6q]

So useful and great explanation 👍🏼 👌 thanks

[@aleks-gv8nk]

Can you please tell me does the bearing of the target change when we change our course?

[@astlefernandes1429]

Visually how we can tell that ship is closer to collision ya ship will cross from now ya ship will cross stern?

[@marlinspikebm3661]

This is where you need to look at COLREGS Rules. That’s the rules to prevent collision.

[@gauravkulkarni8790]

simply great

[@tmysty]

point system. new one for me. thanks The good ole' compass degrees just seems so much easier. How about Target Angle? Does the point system utilize anything like that? I would think that information would be very useful.

[@marlinspikebm3661]

I think the points of the compass is WAY easier too. This system is required by USCG licensing.

[@lloydabellana5797]

Very Impormative sir.

I’m glad!

Nice video

[@marlinspikebm3661]

Jo Laranjo thank you.

[@bluedriveson9794]

I think you have a typo on your drawing. Shouldn't '4 points or broad on the stbd beam' actually be '4 points or broad on the starboard BOW'? To match 'broad on the stbd quarter'. ?

[@cronoxtrigger4791]

Yes, it should be broad or 4 points on starboard bow.

[@astlefernandes1429]

Fine port fine stbd which side??

[@iambeloved496]

I saw it was supposed to be pronounced zero if it started with a 0 and pronounced "oh" if it did not start with a 0 to avoid confusion. Is this right or has this rule changed?

[@marlinspikebm3661]

I’m not sure I understand the question. Thank you.

@@marlinspikebm3661 that's okay I saw it on an old training film from periscope. Thanks

[@marlinspikebm3661]

I’d still be happy to help. I don’t want to put out bad information.
