The ONLY folks that attempt to operate at hull speed seem to be the sailors , as wind energy is free and broad reaching in 17K + with whole sails is exciting.

Most marine motorists will LRC at Sl of about 1
Thats the Sq RT of the actual underway LWL in K.

The only forced confusion is the ICW motorists that quote statute miles (that what their charts are calibrated for) .

So 6K is about 7stat , which sounds faster
