Since the distances and ranges were very small, this was enough to give me a workable solution. At longer distances (>10km), I would've ended up with the redline overlapping my 4'th bearing. So when I scaled up my plot, making my sub travel 1000 yards instead of 100, the error went down by a factor of 10 and I immediately ended up with all protracted points on the 4'th bearing

Right on!
