Boat Speed Calculator

Calculate Boat Speed



Formula

The formula to calculate the Boat Speed (S) is:

\[ S = 10.34 \times \left(\frac{\text{WLS}}{\text{WLM}}\right) - 10.34 \]

Where:

Boat Speed Definition

A boat's speed is the velocity at which a boat is traveling based on its waterline while moving and stopping.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ S = 10.34 \times \left(\frac{30}{25}\right) - 10.34 \]

\[ S = 10.34 \times 1.2 - 10.34 = 12.408 - 10.34 = 2.07 \text{ knots} \]

The Boat Speed (S) is 2.07 knots.
