What is Scharnov turn?

Scharnov turn:

  • Less distance is covered hence saving time.
  • Cannot be carried out effectively unless the time elapsed between occurence of the incident.
  • The commencement of the manoeuvre is known. 
  • Not to be used in an immediate action situation.
  • Rudder hard over.
  • After deviation from the original course by 240 degs rudder hard over to the oposite side. 
  • When heading 20 degs short of the opposite course, rudder to midship position so that ship will turn to the opposite course.
