Yep but as American and British imperial measures often differ that wouldn't be very helpfull! Those cunning French grams are constant all over...

How true. My sailboat seems to be a hodgepodge of SAE, Metric, and British Imperial measurements. My water tank is in US gallons, however the fuel tank is in Imperial gallons. The exterior rigging and deck hardware is in SAE measurements, but the engine and transmission are in metric. Go figure!

Not only that, but it probably measures speed in nautical miles per hour. My personal favorite is furlongs per fortnight.

Rich it sounds like you have heard of the British 'Royal Mail' postal service! They do furlongs per fortnight if they are feeling industrious!!

My personal favorite is furlongs per fortnight.
1 f/f is almost exactly equal to 1 centimeter per minute; therefore, furlongs per fortnight would be a good unit of measurement for a snail’s pace, which ranges from a bit less than 1 f/f to about 30.5 f/f.

generic terms 1/8th mile every 14 days


I'm a crazy rabid squirrel and I want my cookies!

It's selectable. I can go knots/hour or miles per hour. On the Great Lakes, and down the Intracostal Waterway everything is expressed in miles in terms of distance, speed etc.... On the open ocean it's done in knots. What really throws me is when they express distance/speed in terms of cables.
