Yachtmaster Offshore Standard

Nautical Terms at Yachtmaster level is not just recall. The answer has to show command judgement, evidence quality, margin, and a fallback if the first plan stops being safe.

Scenario: A crew briefing before a night pilotage leg uses terms such as set, drift, leeway, tidal gate, transit, and clearing bearing.

Examiner expectation: Use each term in a practical instruction and confirm that the crew understand the action it implies.
