8 knots is more about 15km/hcelestial_insight wrote:There is a maximum speed ANYWHERE on the river after sunset of 8 knots (which is about 5km/h - very slow). I very much doubt that speedboat was doing 8 knots or less considering the damage he caused. Also, if he knew what he was doing he would have known that nav marker was there. I hope he is charged.
1 knot = 1.8km/h
1 knot = 1 nautical mile an hour
1 nautical mile = 1 minute of the equator
Still very slow, and slow enough that you will not end up dangled in your own boat.
