How Fast Is 30 Knots On A Boat. There are 6076 feet in a nautical mile as it is the same as a minute of latitude which is from where it was derived. A sailboats average cruising speed ranges from 8mph to 12mph.
Enter the value you want to convert knot. When the general rule was ships doing about 20-25 knots there was one ship doing way more than that. Joined Jul 25 2012 Posts 3482 Likes 1269 Location Bay Pointe Marina Quincy MA Boat Make 36 Hatteras13 Whaler24.
Knot in navigation measure of speed at sea equal to one nautical mile per hour approximately 115 statute miles per hour.
A knot is a nautical mile per hour. With large vessels apparently it doesnt matter if the boat is on or under the water the fastest submarines dont go much above 40 knots so thats still slower than cars on the motorway. When the general rule was ships doing about 20-25 knots there was one ship doing way more than that. Not only the ships you mentioned but USS New Jersey 1943 USS Wisconsin 1944 USS Enterprise 1961 and more were capable of doing 30-35 knots and more.
