15 paź 2020 · With the Mercator sailing method, the course is determined first by the use of the first formula. The answer will be an azimuth and must be converted to a true course. See the instructions contained in the section on plane sailing.
Using two different examples based on Mercator sailing formulae, this video shows how to calculate:a) the course and distance between two geographical positi...
Mercator Sailing Mercator Sailing is another method of Rhumb Line Sailing. It is used to find the course and distance between two positions that are in different latitudes from the large D. Lat. and distance. It is similar to plane sailing, except that plane sailing is used for small distances.

Mercator Sailings. How to calculate Mercator Sailings and gain a greater understanding into why/how they are used as a navigational staple.
Mercator Sailing. The plain triangle on the right indicates the plot of a Rhumb Line track on a Mercator chart between two points (A and C). By applying simple trigonometry principles the course and distance between the two positions can be determined. The formulae for determining the values are :-
