Module 6 - Position, Course & Speed
Yachtmaster Offshore Standard
Position, Course & Speed 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 GNSS position, depth contour, and log-derived EP disagree during a lee-shore approach.
Examiner expectation: State which evidence is independent, what error sources are likely, and what action creates sea room while you resolve it.
Key points
- State the evidence you trust and the evidence you distrust.
- Name the margin that makes the plan defensible.
- Choose the first action that preserves safe options.
- Explain the contingency before the situation becomes forced.
