I can just see it now. dougies, who used to "sail" a hunter 19 down the
highway but now has a high windage three story high powerboat, gently
motors
his boat up in the 24 knot anchorage, the eight foot waves (formed over
many
thousand mile fetch) rocking him gently. He pulls up to the exact spot
he
wants, touches a button and the 700# CQR on a thousand foot chain drops
to
the
bottom and hooks on without difficulty.

dougies the snugs his boat up for optimal 3 to 1 scope for reduced
swinging
room.

then he and wifie (who thinks him daft) enjoy a half dozen drinks as the
sun
sets. The gracefully go down the stairs, get undressed (in the dark),
put
their
dentures in Polident, go to bed and calmly fall asleep, the boat steady
and
solid in the eight foot waves, the wind to the one beam, then forward,
then the
other beam then forward again as the boat sails on the anchor in 24
knots
of
wind.

The wind generator screaming like a banshee in the wind, dougies and
wifie
secure in their knowledge that come morning their forced air diesel
heater
will
still be running, their 3,000 amps of batteries fully charged.

yeah, dougies. you be da man.

dougies, just where in hell do you use an wind generator?

dummy.

Who mentioned anchoring in 24kts?

you gotta ask? why is that? you never anchor?

And in any case, what is wrong
with that?

I saw that. Unusual for a small turbine. That's the way the big guys do it.
Unfortunately it is a passive system that seems to only be designed to
mitigate the overspeed problem. I would worry about the reliability
of a more mechanically complex aproach.
