Here are links to the Navy's "Maneuvering Board Manual". Perhaps it will help you with your tutorial or anyone else who is interested:

The original files for The maneuvering Board DMA5090 Instruction Manual, pub. 217,is available for download in 4 .zip files.

Here is another link to a shorter MoBoard tutorial, with examples:

Yes, it's a standalone app but it gives you the ability to work from in-game screen captures (Alt-PrnScrn button). Alternatively, you can set the background transparent or at any level of opacity and use it as an overlay... or set transparent temporarily, plot positions and then set it back to opaque and work at your leisure. I actually find myself using the screen capture feature less frequently now... it's nicer working on uncluttered background.

If you've got dual monitor capability (or an idle laptop) it really shines. It's like adding a new station to your favorite naval sim!
