So here you are cruising along with more wind then needed for hull
speed, why not drag a surfboard with an alternator with big paddle
wheels on each side to make electricity?

Lionheart's free spinning shaft alternator produces over 20A at 6 knots.
Her Aux diesel is a Perkins 4-108 powering a hydraulic transmission made to
freewheel when off. The 3-bladed screw provides pretty nice power to the
slow-spinning shaft alternator to run my toys.
