Rick, "A picture is worth a thousands words. This is roughly what I claim you will need to get 10kts in a 5T boat pushing into 20kts of wind in 2m seas - something capable of 11.4kW continuous - this is rated at 13.2kW at 50Hz:"
13.2kW is roughly 17 hp. I don't have a problem with that. Reality is the ultimate arbiter.
My pig of a boat will do 7 to 8 knots at 20 hp in almost any kind of conditions. More horsepower won't get me anymore speed though : (
