Well, given the correction that 6 knots is nearer to 10 feet/sec, if you were doing 20 feet/sec, then that would we 12 knots. -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |

No. 10 ft/s is 6 knots.
You would be moving at 20 ft/s at 12 knots. Jim Cate wrote Wally wrote: Bart Senior wrote: How many feet/second is a boat moving at 6 knots? About 9. (1.5 feet/sec per knot.) So, if I'm sailing 18 feet/second, I'm doing 12 knots? Jim |
