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:
A rhumb line makes the same angle with all meridians it crosses and appears as a straight line on a Mercator chart. The principal advantage of a rhumb line is that it maintains
Proposals of algorithms for solving Navigation faculty’s problems regarding navigation along rhumb line (loxodrome), for officer trainees and civil students of Faculty of Navigation and Naval Weapons and for deck seamen on operational level, are presented in this paper.
1 cze 1995 · 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.
The formulas enable to solve the tasks with a use of electronic calculator and application of traditional methods on plane and sphere, and they also take the Earth’s ellipsoidal shape into consideration. Keywords: loxodrome (rhumb-line sailing), plane (or middle latitude) sailing, Mercator triangle (Mercator sailing) 1. Introduction
27 sty 2017 · Optimized distance is achieved if the rhumb line course is altered towards the vertex at the orthodrome-loxodrome intersection point.
