Seam 5 Activity 5

The document discusses the concepts related to turning circles and stopping distances for vessels, including key terms such as turning circle, advance, transfer, tactical diameter, and drift angle. It includes fill-in-the-blank statements and true/false questions to assess understanding of how various factors like speed and trim affect a vessel's turning capabilities. The content emphasizes the relationship between a vessel's trim and its tactical diameter during turns.

Turning Circle-Stopping Distance

Filling the Blanks


1. Turning Cirle
2. Advance
3. Transfer
4. Tactical Diameter
5. Drift Angle

1. ____________ when a vessel is made to turn under a continuous helm through 360
deg it will follow
a roughly circular track called turning circle
2. ____________ It is the distance travelled by ship along original course line
when she alter her course
through 360 deg
3. ____________ It is the distance travelled by the ship measured from original
course line to the point
when she alter her course by90 deg
4. ____________ It is the distance travelled by the ship measured from original
course line to the point
when she alter her course by 180 deg
5. ____________ It is the angle between the ship fore and aft line and tangent
drawn to the turning circle

T or F
1. True
2. False
3. True
4. False
5. True

True or False:

1. The diameter will vary, based on the speed, the amount of rudder used and the
trim.

2. When the vessel is trimmed by the stern, the tactical diameter of turn is
decreased?

3. When the vessel is trimmed by the head, the tactical diameter of turn is
decreased?

4. The vessel with a list will take longer to execute the turn, and, when turned
into the list, will develop a smaller circle?

5. The turning circles are influenced by speed.
