    Knots tied at a distance of 47 feet 3 inches (14.4018 m) from each other, passed through a sailor's fingers, while another sailor used a 30-second sand-glass (28-second sand-glass is the currently accepted timing) to time the operation. [9] The knot count would be reported and used in the sailing master's dead reckoning and navigation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_sailing

    If a craft proceeds at 90° to a true wind of V T = 10 knots, itself traveling at a speed inducing V B = 10 knots, then the apparent wind angle would be 45° off the bow and the apparent wind speed would be about 14 knots, calculated as: square root [(V B) 2 + (V T) 2] = square root [10 2 + 10 2] = 14.14. As the craft becomes faster than the ...
