In case the Double Run cannot be executed

in head waves and following waves, the ap-
proach to be followed is: runs with headings de-
viating less than 45 degrees from head waves
will be treated as head waves according to meth-
ods D2 and D3 (Part 2). For other wave direc-
tions no corrections will be applied.
