Its a darn good thing that some knots are being phased out ........ I
never can tie half of them!

So are you saying that in the end we'll all have the bends?

Hi,
I have been told that all new equipment, chartplotters, speedometers and
the like will not have knots as a speed option.
Knots will be phased out and KPH will be the new standard for marine
equipment.

Has anybody heard of this?

If so where?

Some links please if available.

Thanks
Oliver Fleming
