If to port subtracted c) the reciprocal course must be calculated from the original course. ie. a new course which runs in the exact opposite direction (180°) from the original course d) once the compass reaches the 60° mark after turning off the initial course, shift the rudder in the opposite direction from the 60° turn and come to the reciprocal course. |
