Sailing
Sailing and Navigation Calculators:
Bruce Number: Computes the ratio of the square root of sail area to the cube root of displacement of a sail boat
- Sail Area / Displacement Ratio: Compute SA/D ratio for sail boats.
- Displacement-Length Ratio: Computes a metric to describe how heavy a boat is in relation to its waterline.
- Capsize Screening Formula: Computes a metric to describe a boat's stability in rough seas.
- Vessel Displacement Volume: Computes the cubic feet displacement associated with the weight displacement.
- Weight of Seawater: Computes the weight and mass of a volume of seawater.
- Time to Sink: Compute the time it takes for a breach (water in) to surpass the displacement of the boat.
- Haversine Distance (decimal degrees): Compute the Distance Between two Points on the Earth (Great Circle Arc)
- Haversine Distance (Degrees, Minutes and Seconds): Compute the Distance Between two Points on a Sphere (Great Circle Arc) using degrees, minutes and seconds verses decimal degrees.
- Rhumb Line Azimuth: Computes the azimuth heading one can navigate for a path that crosses all meridians of longitude at a constant angle.
- Rhumb Line Distance: Computes the distance traveled between two points on the globe if traveled via a rhumb line.
- Correction Angle:
navigation equation that compensates for air or water currents.
- Decimal Degrees: Compute decimal degree angles from degrees, minutes and seconds,[CLICK HERE].
- Nautical Travel Cost: Computes the total cost to travel a distance based on the cost rate and distance traveled.
- Travel Time between Coordinates: Compute the time to travel between two location (latitudes and longitudes) based on a average speed
- Distance to Sea Level Horizon: Computes the distance to the horizon from a specified height using a spherical model the mean spherical radius of the Earth
