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:
Celestial navigation course for beginners. Voyage planning/passage planning tool. Single rhumb line and great circle calculations on an ellipsoid.
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
20 lut 2003 · #1. Any idea how to do this? You have LAT1, LON1, LAT2, LON2 and you want to calculate: A: distance. B: bearing (initial bearing along a great circle ie the shortest distance) C: bearing along rhumb lines ("constant bearing")
In broad terms, there are two main types of sailing, namely, the Rhumb Line sailing and the Great Circle sailing. The Mercator Sailing is the most accurate method employed in marine navigation to handle calculations related to Rhumb Line sailing.
The formulas for determining a ship’s dead-reckoned position, given an initial known location, the vessel’s course and speed, and the time elapsed, are referred to as the sailing formulas. These...
