Great Circle sailing is the shortest distance between two points on a curved Earth. It's how ships save time and fuel over long distances. While it might not look like a straight line on your chart, it's actually the most efficient route. We re-did this in English to help more cadets worldwide understand this essential concept. ⚓ Have you ever plotted a Great Circle route manually? #maritime #cadet | Maritime Basics
