Did my Boat license 6 yards ago in Germany, not a captain license! We had to learn sea Navigation and rule of the road. We were not allowed to use calculator. I'm so happy I passed the test!! You explained it very well!!

[@tajik.yassin5203]

Thank you so much for this video. The information provided has been very informative and a learning experience for me. I am in the process of preparing myself to study for my captains license. It’s been a journey to accomplish this unfortunately it’s been a challenge for me due that I’m starting from scratch no boat for sea hours or any courses just gathering all the materials and books to study. Thank you for this priceless information and whoever the instructor is in this video kudos to him great job.👍👍

[@wilburrwould2274]

You really should be a instructor, you helped this ol' dog understand how to do this with ease. I'm a disabled Veteran trying to find a new direction to sail . You have helped me find a new direction it is now up to me to pass the 6 pack... . THANK YOU!!!

I passed my Captain's test about three weeks ago but your videos are really great for reinforcing what I learned. Thanks

[@nickrowe9431]

Are there actually jobs for OUPV holders?

[@victordanhi7908]

The video incorrectly states the set as 229, however, if you look at the compass rose and the correct responses, I believe he measures 329. I have done this problem multiple times and come up with between 326 and 329. This is also consistent with the answers provided.

[@uscaptainstraining]

You are correct! I misspoke by 100 degrees.

[@GhostWaveBook]

@@uscaptainstraining You should put a note in this video that you're incorrect on the 229 degrees. You're really good at this stuff, and this is super helpful but make a note on the vid!!

[@uscaptainstraining]

I agree, thanks for the nudge.

Excellent walk through of how to work the problem then also how to understand which multiple choice answer is closest and why!

Wow this was something cool to watch. Learning new things each day. Thank you Sir

[@cyrilconsad6040]

check the compass rose when getting the set. You misread it. :)

[@seandineen2553]

Excellent teachig skills makeing things clearer for me .

[@pankajdange9271]

Great video!!! Might I correct; diff betn 229 n 332 is well over 100deg n not 3 deg as stated by u. Secondly while reading the set u read 229 from the NW direction, if it were 229 then it wld hav been in SW direction.

[@lucasvandenberg4577]

That part in the video just extremely confused me as well. Maybe this practice problem video could be edited to correct "229" and mention "329"

[@coreyblaser]

I think he mis-noted the set as 229, however if you look closely, the compass rose actually showed 329… I think he had it right in his head, but not on the whiteboard. So his 332° is actually only 3° off.

[@kateskrmetta2022]

This was so helpful for a beginner like me

[@bkfitz]

Reason for 229 vs ~239 He read the compass wrong... for some reason he said 229, but it was really more like 329 if you look close.

[@SkydivingSquid]

"229 is only 3 degrees off of 332". My head freaking exploded. He definitely read the compass wrong. How he didn't catch that in the video is mind blowing.

[@jeffbigtube]

@@SkydivingSquid thank you ...... I was following but my numbers were not the same!

[@garycotz563]

A little correction needed but you did a great job on that. Super good info.

I really, really want my captains license but this makes my brain hurt sooo I’ll just leave it to guys like you! 😩

[@uscaptainstraining]

Our courses don't expire you can practice and study for as long as it takes. We don't give up on you so as long as you don't give up, you can earn the license. Have a great weekend!

hold on did he just take the lat off the top of the chart ? In australia its on the side.

If you have a problem with leeway, why do you convert from true to compass before compensating for leeway?

[@robertb2744]

How are you getting the longitude using just a parellel ruler. How are you sure that your line is exactly straight vertical?

[@uscaptainstraining]

I line the parallel rules up with the meridians which run north and south. If you watch carefully I am using both the parallel rules and dividers to get a position.

Which formulas do you know that you have to covert time to decimal diveded by 60 and decimals to time times 60 ????

armo byzantine time has to be always in decimal form. So do which ever give u a decimal

[@frankkloza7087]

Where did you get that deviation table? I was not provided one and wish you would've solved this problem without that. My PSC in the problem i am trying to solve is 305, how do i figure out the other variables with no deviation table????

[@FishWhistle.]

Where did you get your deviation table from?

[@uscaptainstraining]

The deviation table is from our USCG approved courses. uscaptainstraining.com/product/online-oupv/

This is for boating license? Because it cannot be for captain's ocean going unlimited.

[@waelsailor5414]

The following problem came in the authority test in Latakia port in Syria: A ship steering 235° gyro, Speed 15 kn, gyro error= 2° low Under effect of bothe northerly wind , causing leeway 7°, and a current , set 185° and rate 3kn. At 1600 , Dungeness light house distance off by Radar 8 miles. At 1640 , Royal Sovereign light house distance off 11 miles. Fix the position at 1600 & 1640? Can you please , kind Sir, show us how to solve this sailing problem?! Thank you in advance

[@northbee15]

229 was a wrong reading. If you look closely at 9:45 into the video the correct reading is 329. 229 would have been more than 100 degrees off. He should have caught the error at the end when all the correct answers were 100 + degrees off.

[@charlesknupp7905]

yeh, that 229 makes no sense to me either. clarification please

[@littledudefromacrossthestreet]

he just read it off of the chart incorrectly, but he meant 329. Instead of writing that as 329 he just wrote that down as 229.

[@ejbadajos9004]

Yeah, he just off rrad the chart. I guess it's 329 bcoz it's more nearer to the 332

[@seamanonlinetutorial4850]

I thought converting time into hour is multiply by 60, but in your solution u divided by it by 60, can u please explain me sir so that i can understand why divided it not multiply, thank u so much, i always watching ur videos i learned a lot

[@uscaptainstraining]

Think about it in terms of common sense or mental math approximation. If you have 45 minutes and you are trying to get how many hours that is, you know that it is .75 hours and not 2,700 hours. You can always get a good estimation of what it should be using metal math. Use that to your advantage.

Aviation has already quit using paper charts, they don’t even carry enough crew to use them and fly at the same time anymore. How long before maritime quits this crap. 2 chart plotters and a handheld backup, along with a GPS Signal transmitter will be just fine til the EMP hits

[@eagleclaw1988]

Yup I’ve been on the water for 20years . Just trying to snag a simple seatow/boatUSA job .. I’m 100% familiar with the Area, yet they want me to be fucking Christopher Columbus who he was even wrong .. shit crazy the amount of useless Fluff they make you memorize..

[@seashepherds4959]

Well, when your power goes out what happens to you in the air? When your power goes out on a boat you have charts and entire system of measurement and calculation to sort out where you are and where to go without the electronics. It has saved many a life at sea- Aviation still has problems with flyers who can't function without electronics and what goes up must come down. Safe flying.

[@harbourdogNL]

Very good thanks! All that camera movement left me feeling a bit...well... seasick though!

[@eventhisidistaken]

1:35 "get my latitude first" - proceeds to measure longitude

[@tonytwotoes4456]

It was not 229 it was 329...229 would indicate south south east direction

[@dasaniman1]

Tony Two Toes 229° would be south west

[@hommie789]

I think you miss read the compass rose when you said it was reading was 229*. That is a physiologic impossibility that far north. The video makes sense if he reading was 329* true then you would be only 3* off and the video makes sense that way.

[@floridadronepros9755]

Nice guy and I like your videos. But please delete this video. I followed your steps on the chart and spent over and hour trying to figure out why my answers didn’t match yours. Then after quadruple checking my checking; I started reading the comments. At which point I realized I wasn’t loosing my mind. Lol!

[@kaybarriere]

well, if a certified Navigation Instructor can misread the Compass Rose sometimes, just imagine what can happen to us everyday Sailors. It was 329 degrees T not 229 degrees. Everybody gets a little distracted on camera.

[@TheJopito212]

to get the 229° did you use the geographic compass rose? instead of magnetic compass rose? I see there are 2 compass rose on the chart and I am not sure when do we use such one.

[@Nikola16789]

He made mistake, it's 329 (T)

[@whistlingmanschoonerco.684]

Set is always measured in True degrees. So always use the outside ring of the compass rose when measuring set.

[@yusmanigarcia1016]

Always use the outer ring of the compass , true heading. If heading are given in psc , You have to convert them .

[@TheSpadre]

Dude, 332 from 229 is not close. You screwed up it should have been 329.

[@swan0019]

Wow. You're ok with squinting so hard that 229 degrees approximates 332 degrees (on a 360 degree wheel) but you somehow think you need 2 decimal places of accuracy (which isn't warranted by your measurements) in your distance calculations (or 1 of them, anyway). It's possible that you know a lot more about boating than I do, but you know nothing about mathematics. Or taking tests. Getting an answer that isn't close to any of the options should have given you reason to try again. The scary thing is; you got the right answer by accident and think you know your stuff.

[@uscaptainstraining]

I miss spoke by 100 degrees. Sorry about that I had been making these videos for two weeks and this was one of the last ones in the series.
