Do Great Lakes sailors discuss vessel speed or wind speeds in knots or
MPH?
=====================================
It depends on whether or not they are writing power boat reviews for a
magazine. Any marketing guy worth his salt will always quote speed in
mph because: 1) It sounds faster; and 2) Probably doesn't know any
better. :-)
My experience on the Great Lakes is that sailors use knots but smaller
power boats use mph.
