I am sure an ex pinger will give you the full answer, but apparently it is easily done using the circular slide rule. You put the wind on in the normal way and then add the (reciprical?) heading and speed of the ship on the end of the wind line and then go through the motions of determining the heading. You just have to hope that the ship maintains course and speed!
