In the table I assume D is down, U is up, L is left and R is right. What are O and U? Also, in the notes column, what does A/C stand for? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I just can't fathom what they mean…

Cerdic24 Jan 2022 11:45 a.m. PST

I reckon O and U are over and under…

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

In the rate column, O and C are opening and closing range.

In the spotting column, U/D/L/R are range up and down and bearing left and right.

In the remarks column, A/C is alter course.

What does "Green" mean?

Thanks for clarrifying O, C and A/C (in my post I mistakenly asked abou U, I blame my fingers for not following my brain's explicit instructions). Green is starboard and red is port, so the numbers are bearing on either side.
