I agree with Paul, although the knot meter is helpful in learning how fast you should going on each point of sail and to fine tune for speed between races or when the fleet is not close along side. I make out big time down wind by using the knotmeter to gauge how low to I can go. There is a spot (at least on my boat) where speed drops off precipitously but you can''t feel it as fast as you can see it on the knotmeter.
