Towed generators
Roger ... Yves sailed and I think still sails ... an Alberg 30.
Reading his logs is like standing on a cliff, waiting for the end, but always somehow, someway,, the end never gets ya. === "Roger Long" wrote in message ... wrote So there is plainly an upper limit to the amount of power a towed generator can realistically provide to a small sailboat. Yes, but Yves who builds the Cape Horn steering gears used one very successfully on his circumnavigation in a Bristol 30. He even built a new rotor from scratch when a shark ate the first one. Impressive bit of work under the circumstances and with materials at hand. If you haven't seen his video, you really should. I generally find sailing videos pretty boring but his is great. -- Roger Long |
