I thought bearing too but the 4 letter is 3 is the same at first in 4. Maybe heading but thats not really a boating term.

Axwell

Heading is the answer, it is a boating term,also you have the heading on a compass.

The clue for number 5 is the correct amount of letters?

5) Blazon

Think it's an archaic form of an announcment or proclamation. Never heard it before I came across it in a crossword myself.
