Good suggestions that I will have to look into.
Dennis, never heard of Nova Cool, but will investigate. Also, never
seen an alternator rigged to the prop shaft, nor really understand how
this works, but will do some hunting on the internet and ask around. I
have a lot to learn about going engineless.
Ken, I know my bias against wind gens is a bit silly, and maybe stems
more from having to listen to them in marinas late at night without
benefiting from the power they provide. I will look at the Amp Air;
sounds too good to be true. I know what you mean about rowing oars
hitting things, and they do increase beam to that of a trimaran, but
you can stop and turn on a dime, brilliant for a busy marina (and
"busy" is a relative term), whereas sculling oars are great for going
one way. I have heard that braking is also possible when sculling, but
again, I have a lot to learn.
Colin, I would consider a propane fridge, but wouldn't install unless
I was convinced they were safe. Maybe then I'd install a propane stove
and chuck my kerosene :)
Thanks for the help,
Jim
