I think there is a scan of a maneuvering board sheet somewhere in the downloads section.
Nope, it's a (formerly known as Google) Sketchup template: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3708 I do have a scan of a maneuvering board sheet (US Defence Mapping Agency) in my private collection (no doubt picked up somewhere in subsim forums) as .png file, 1939x 2003 pixels. But you'll have to fiddle with scale to get it right on paper.

Thanks for all the great info; unfortunately all these are imperial though right? So the nomograph won't work, without additional conversions from yards to meters and the inaccuracies that will bring.
@Nathanial B - I'd love to chat more about this with you, I'll PM you. @Pisces - thanks for the link - I'll take a look. |

Got my maneuvering board pad at amazon.com.

When posting the link to the manual above, I noticed there is the option on that page to download an image of the maneuvering board in two different sizes. Here is the link again.

One thing that has always irked me about maneuvering board/radar plotting tutorials on like youtube etc. is that after they convert the targets relative motion to true motion they say "and that's the targets true course".
That's only true if your course was 000. They never mention that it needs to be converted to take into account your own true course. Or when they DO try to show an example that doesn't have you on 000 (which is an extremely rare find on youtube), they never mention that the bearings plotted need to be bearings relative to your course (and not your nose) when plotted on the moboard for it to come out corrrectly. |

Oddly, a quick scan of the maneuvering board manual didn't turn up any mention of this - although it might be in there, somewhere. What is mentioned in some problems is the need to determine relative bearings as part of the solution - implying that true bearings are being used. I don't recall watching any YouTube examples of how to use a maneuvering board, but perhaps the makers of those videos are unaware of this fact. In any case, I agree with you that this should be explained.

Just adding this as it's pertinent, and to keep everything in the same place:
