[Boatanchors] Re: Statute vs Nautical

[w4okw]

Gentlemen, 

We are getting our numbers wrong! A statute, or land mile, contains 5,280 feet
and not 5,028 feet! 

Now a nautical mile is 6,076 feet. Hence a nautical mile is1.15 statute miles. 

A statute mile is 5,280 feet. Hence a mautical mile is .869 statute miles.   

<<oops, almost got it right!  A Statute mile is .869 nautical miles.>>

A Knot is 1.16 mile per hour.  

One mile per hour is .862 Knots.
