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.

There is something magical about harnessing the wind, and it doesn't matter
much whether it's to push your boat along or provide electrical power to
your 2-way or your water maker or some other such thing, it's still a
beautiful thing.
