You really don't even need the fancy "Maneuvering Board" sheet. A ruler and protractor on a sheet of graph or even plain paper will do just fine.
Nice one, thank you, i never got how this board works
You can off course draw it to map, but i like more to write few equations on HW paper. Its just triangle with one side (target course with length of target speed, e.g. 6) and second our speed, all angles are already known in this situation (AoB, bearing of target from us, and the third is always 180-both others).
With this, you can simply find solution by the law of sines
