1.
On the monkey island of a ship steaming a course of 115° (T) at 16 Knots,
an anemometer recorded speed of 9m/s when wind vane showed wind is
blowing towards 4 points on Port Quarter. State what entry you will enter
in the Ship’s log book regarding Wind and also state the direction in
which the funnel smoke will fly? SW; BF4, NW (337 deg)
2. A vessel is steering a course of 308°(T) at a speed of 14.5 knots. Direction
of wind by observing line of waves was ENE. Speed of wind read off the
Anemometer on Bridge was 18 Knots. State what direction and wind
speed is to be entered in the logbook. Towards what direction will the
funnel smoke blow? Deck logbook entry: ENE; BF5; SW’ly 202 DEG T
3. Ship’s course SW by W at 12 knots from a true wind was observed to be
coming from 2 points abaft starboard beam. The funnel smoke was
blowing towards a direction 3 points abaft port beam. Find the speed of
true and apparent wind and state what entries are to be made in ship’s
log book and weather report. Deck Log book: N by W; BF4 and Wx
report: ddff: 3512
4. A vessel steering 0600 (T) at 15 kts, experiencing apparent wind @ 14 kts
coming from 300 on port bow. Find the direction and speed of true wind.
308 deg 7.6 knots; NW by W; BF3
5. A vessel on a course of 3200 speed 15 knots. The anemometer and wind
vane showed 20 knots and 0450 (T) respectively. State what entry is to be
made in weather report regarding wind direction and speed? True Wind
direction and speed: 083 deg T or Easterly x 23.8 Knots; Wx report: ddff:
0823
6. Vessel’s course was 275 deg T and speed 14.0 knots. The wind indicated
by the Anemometer was 60 deg to Starboard and the speed indicated by
Anemometer was 7.0 knots. State what entry you will make in the Deck
Log Book regarding True Wind? ENE (066 deg), BF 4 (12.2knots)
7. A vessel was steering a westerly course at 15 knots. The wind direction
and speed displayed by anemometer was 060o(R) on port bow at 10 knots.
What entry for true wind is to be made in ships logbook, and weather
message respectively. True wind SE x BF4; 132 degrees x 13 knots; ddff:
1313
8. On a course of 154o at 13 knots an anemometer on the bridge showed a
wind speed of 32 knots. The direction of wind by observing line of waves
was WSW. What entry is to be made in the weather report with respect to
wind direction and speed? If an observer on the vessel threw up a piece of
paper in which direction would it fly off? Wx report: ddff: 2530; paper will
fly in NE’ly direction
9. Ship course SW by W at 12 kts. True Wind observed to be 2 points abaft
the starboard beam. The funnel smoke was blowing in a direction 3 points
abaft port beam. Find the speed of the true and apparent wind and state
what entries will be made in ship’s log book and weather report. Deck
Log book: N by W; BF4 and Wx report: ddff: 3512
10. Vessel’s course 150o(T), speed 13 kts, Anemometer reading 30 kts
and pointing into a direction two points on port quarter. Find true wind
direction and speed. What entry would you make in log book with respect
to wind direction and Beaufort scale force? N by W; BF9
