| ICW - Virginia to NC - 25' sailboat and ?HP
Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to sailing. I've done a little sailing and am gearing up to take beginner/advanced courses. My short term goal is to take a relatively short trip down the ICW sometime next year - Chesapeake bay through NC. The boats I'm thinking about are around 25' and have outboards around 9hp. Is it reasonable to expect 9hp to get me down 20 miles of canal? Or is this a job for a larger motor? I'm not going to buy anything most likely until next year - just thinking at this point. Thanks!
