When steering into the wind while at 20 degrees with an east pushing wind of 3, where will the vessel end up?

When steering into the wind, a vessel will experience a phenomenon called leeway, which is the lateral drift caused by wind pushing against it. In this situation, with an easterly wind and the vessel initially at 20 degrees, the vessel will naturally be pushed off course to the left due to the wind's effect.

Since the wind is coming from the east, this east-pushing wind implies that the vessel will turn slightly right to counteract the force of the wind and maintain a straight course. If you are steering at 20 degrees towards the wind, being pushed eastward by the wind means that you need to adjust your heading slightly to the right to maintain your intended direction.

Therefore, the vessel will end up at a heading of 23 degrees to the right, compensating for the push of the wind coming from the east.
