Knots to Pace

What it does

• Pace in minutes per mile is easier to apply on the water than a decimal speed.
• The converter covers 1.5 to 8 knots and shows the pace for each half knot.
• A printed row is faster than a phone in spray.

How to use it

1. Round pace up; a plan that rounds down runs late.
2. Use the pace table for the slowest expected current, not the average.
3. Pace and speed are reciprocal, so double the speed halves the pace exactly.
4. Mark the two pace values you actually use in a typical day.

Safety notes

• Pace arithmetic does not account for wind, chop or group stops.
• If the required pace exceeds the boat capability, change the plan.
