The current vector triangle relationship is best expressed as:

  1. ✓ Course steered + drift vector = course made goodCorrect
  2. B. Course made good + drift vector = course steered
  3. C. Set + drift = course steered
  4. D. Course steered − set = course made good

Why A is correct

Bowditch Ch. 24 §2402 states the vector triangle as: course steered plus the drift vector equals course made good. To find the course to steer, this relationship is inverted: subtract the current vector from the desired course made good.
