Summary
DescriptionMarteloio of Ramon Llull.jpg
English: The Rule of Marteloio as described by Majorcan scholar Ramon Llull in his Arbor Scientiae (1295). From A, the ship's intended course is SE (violet), but actual course is E (blue). Calculating the miliaria di mari (advance on intended course) follows the formula:
gain on intended course = distance on actual course × cosine of the angle of deviation.
As angle = 45 degrees, then after 100 miles on actual course, ship gains 70.71 on intended course; after 200 miles, gains 141.42 miles, and so on.
