I'm a land-lubber, but I think knots is a speed unit (like 
Miles Per Hour), so I think you want "knots" here, not "knots 
per hour", if you are talking wind speed.

Then stick to being a land lubber.  Because you're wrong.
   

 

A knot is a unit of linear measurement.
   

Perhaps you're both wrong or right :)

At the bottom of the above page..

   */Usage Note: /* In nautical usage /knot/ is a unit of speed, not of
   distance, and has a built-in meaning of "per hour." Therefore, a
   ship would strictly be said to travel at ten knots (not ten knots
   per hour).
..so thats the end of the argument..
