I'm reminded of spending an offwatch trying to calculate the horsepower provided by the sails that was needed to drive the 24 tonnes of boat I was sitting on along at 11 knots, which is what it was doing at the time.

I seem to remember getting an answer in the region of 500 hp, a figure in which I had absolutely no confidence.
