I am a pilot rather than a sailor, but I wonder if the two knots means net
speed with respect to position, which could mean almost any speed with respect
to the flow of water past the hull. Like the difference between air speed and
ground speed? An airplane with an airspeed of 100 knots into a direct headwind
of 98 knots - God forbid - would have a ground speed of two.
Or don't sailors talk that way?

2 knots?
That would usually be too slow to pass enough water by the rudder to
maintain steering control.
