That site only gives conversions for English cubits. For some reason
it is hard for me to believe that the personage Scott has been hearing
from about boat building really intended English cubits. What we
really need is a conversion table for Phoenician cubits or the like.

When's the last time you measured anything with cubits?
I was given very specific instructions for the boat I'm building
right
now. All of the measurements are in cubits, which I find quite odd.
I tried to plug them into a unit conversion app, but the general
contractor threw a fit. Anyway, just thought you guys should know
that "somebody" is still using f'ing cubits.
Tell your contractor to go to:
http://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/length/length_cubits.htm
which will give him all the conversions he needs.
