Dear anglo-saxons & yankees,

is there anywhere a list, a web page in the net, which would help a 
Frustrated Finn to compare knots to metres/second or to 
kilometres/hour?

Unfortunately, I am getting confused quite often, having been 
used to metric system.  Happens both ways, Iīve noticed...

Same thing with miles:  fortunately I did not sleep during ALL my
primary or secondary school lessons, I suppose it goes with
feet like this: 1 ft = 33 centimetres & with inches itīs 1' = 2,5 
centimetres....


Cheers,


Ari Saarto
