I plotted the first point at a course of 325 Degrees at 38 NM. That point is 26* 31'N 44* 25' W. The second leg at 227* for a distance of 55NM yields a position of 25* 38'N 44* 42.3' W. The third leg at 315* for 32 NM yields a position of 26* 10.5'N 44* 44" W.
I do not understand the correct answer can be 26* 16.2'N 45* 33.9'W
Tell me where I am wrong

Did you double check the set up of the UPS sheet?

Another way to check is compute the DR with one of the free calculators we recommend in the Resources section.

Please note, if you are taking the online course you can post in the student discussion group for a quicker response.

there is also there a recent discussion on how to check these sheets.
