    Some wind generators, such as the Amp Air, are very quite. You can stand ten
    feet away and barely hear it.

    I would ask Norm on Bandersnatch what fridge box he is using now, it is very
    very efficient.

    I would have thought you would scull in tight places as oars hit things.

    Small generators make more noise than most wind genarators and won't last
    nearly as long.

    I think water generators don't work well unless you are sailing at least 5
    kts.

    If you added a solar panel and conserved power you could prob. have an
    efficient fridge.-Ken
