Since when does sailing make electricity necessary? If you really want to sail you don't
need electricity. If you really need electricity maybe your not that interested in sailing?
Using wind to make electricity is a good thing. Putting it on a sailboat isn't.

Ellen,

First your pictures are very nice. You just keep posting them and
ignore thoses mean people and thier rude comments.

Second, some people make more use out of a sailboat than others. While
your boat is just above a coleman tent, some people have valid needs
for electricity. Wind generators make less noise than a gen set
running. The new amp airs seem to be very quiet, we have one across the
canal and i can not hear it when it is at full speed.

Where did you snap the pictures at? looks like Florida.
