Default wind generators

Oh, now I get it, you're the noisy polluter we're trying to
avoid.

And the boat all closed up on a hot Summer night?


Yeah..With the gen-set running, and AC cranked on high.

If you have nice insulation on your boat then you will

not
even hear
the wind gen unless your on deck, much less the people

bitching about
it.

they readily fire
up an auxiliary and stink up the place to charge

their
batteries or leave a
dock. Most of them couldn't operate a boat without a

massive electrical
output.

I'd recommend the sturdiest and largest unit your

vessel
can comfortably
carry. If anyone complains about noise... fire up

the
1000 watt sound system
and crank up the bazooka tube to drown them out.

Then
fire up the genset and
your engine as well. Start hollering off key to the

music and dance around
your boat buck naked swinging a bottle of rum. Keep

that
up for 30 min...
then put your clothes back on, shut down everything

but
the wind gen, see
how many vessels have weighed anchor... you won't

have
any further
complaints. It's all a matter of perspective.

Chucky is a ****ant without a clue about boats.

He'll
whine about noise and
sails in the frickien LIS... surrounded by noise and

smog! Chucky you big
baby! You Weiner!

Several boats in my mooring field are equipped with

wind
gens... I don't
hear them. Almost every serious long distance

cruiser is
equipped with both
solar and wind gen systems.
