We Use Knots to Measure Speed on the Water
On the water, we measure speed in knots. But not everyone is familiar with this unit. Most people are used to kilometres or miles per hour, just like on the road.
That’s why I’ll be adding a handy converter to RIBsONLY.com articles whenever speed is mentioned, especially in RIB test reports.
It’s simple to use. Enter a number, choose your unit and get an instant conversion.
No calculations, no confusion. Just the numbers you need, fast.

1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 1.852 km/h. Indicative values, not for navigation.
