Short distance sailing is a term which is applied to sailing along a rhumb-line for distances less than 600 nautical miles. From the formulas derived above, the following are used extensively in short distance sailing:
8 wrz 2015 · How do I calculate a constant bearing distance (rhumb line) of "due East"/"due West" from point1 to point2? p1: Lat: 40 N Long: 110 W. p2: Lat: 40 N Long: 75 E. I know there should be a formula for this, but everything I have found seems a too advance, since I have that lat1 = lat2.
Formulas regarding the rhumbline sailing computation are given in a form convenient for calculations done with a use of commonly accessible electronic calculators.

Rhumb line calculation: Departure position (latitude, longitude) + Course and Distance, to compute Arrival position; Departure position + Arrival position, to compute Course and Distance; Path of constant course between Departure position and Arrival position. Great Circle calculation
6 maj 2017 · The Rhumb line between two points using the Mercator projection looks like this: My goal would be to find the mathematical formula to identify the coordinates of a generic point along the Rhumb line by knowing the distance from the point of origin (or of destination).
This paper provides simple formulas that include the earth's oblateness, which can be readily applied to sailing calculations. The accuracy of these formulas is assessed, and they are shown to be good to about 10 m over ranges up to 1000 km.
