# Fathoms to yards

**1 fathom in yards: 1 ftm = 2 yd**

yd = ftm × 2

To convert fathoms to yards, multiply by 2. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

## How the conversion works

The relationship is yd = ftm × 2. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes. The figure is exact rather than approximate: since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, an inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimetres and a pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and every other imperial and US customary unit here is derived from those two.

## Common questions

### How many yards are in one fathom?

One fathom equals 2 yards. yd = ftm × 2.

### How do you convert fathoms to yards?

Use yd = ftm × 2. So 10 ftm is 20 yd.

### How many fathoms are in one yard?

One yard equals 0.5 fathoms, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
