Terms used

Wheel over position (W/O) The point at which the change of course is initiated.

Advance The distance which the ship has moved in the direction of the initial heading.

Transfer The distance which the ship has moved perpendicular to the initial heading.

Distance to New Course The distance from the intersection of the initial and final heading to the wheel over position.

Point of initiation of

counter rudder The point, expressed in degrees, before the final heading at which the appropriate counter rudder should be applied to prevent over-swing.

In the above diagram the Advance and the Distance to New Course are both of the same value. However, this will be true only for an alteration of 90 degrees. In other course alterations they will have different values.
