Wind gen (reply from poster)
 

Slept near one , one windy night. ANNOYING as hell!
Plus, I hated walking past the thing, as he docked stern in
and it was close to neck height.

I'm more than a little disappointed with the quality of
the
responses. It's obvious that most of you are commenting
on something
you know nothing about. I've had my ear fifteen feet from
a spinning
Ampair, Aero4gen, and Aero6gen on a fifteen to twenty knot
day and
didn't hear a thing. We're going to be living on the
boat for
months, so I take the comments about the, 'need', for
electricity on
my boat with the same interest as if you were telling me I
don't need
electricity in my home. Don't bother replying to this - I
won't be
reading them. I won't even ever look at this group again.

Hi Barry, I know you'll read here again so there's no need
for pretense.
Some of us took your OP seriously and a sincere discussion
did happen. If
you didn't get the answer you wanted, then keep looking,
but don't blame
others for saying what's on their minds (or if you do
blame others, don't
expect anyone to care or change what they have to say).
By the way - do the manufacturers specs not speak for
themselves in terms of
performance? If so, what else besides personal opinions
would you expect to
find here?
I like the idea of "free" energy and I said so. I can't
tell you much more,
but if the day should come where I spend longer periods on
my boat, I am
glad to know the downside of wind generated electric. This
is a good group
and very knowledgeable, don't throw out the baby with the
bath water.


Think solar ...

So your saying men aren't qualified to be gynecologists?

My paranoia about them is whirring, large blades within a few feet of my
face. Man, if one of those blades came off....
