Thanks for the all the suggestions.
These -- http://www.sunfrost.com -- are very expensive, though
something along this line would be pretty practical if I could keep my
batteries charged. I even know a place on the boat where I could fit a
unit about the same size at the R4, but I think the price will have to
drop.
Thanks for the clarification for Aero Gen vs Amp Air -- did a couple
searches and figured the name might be off. Will look again. The more
I think about this, the more I think a wind gen would be necessary
just to keep batteries ahead of radios and electronics, nevermind a
fridge.
I was thinking of a little Honda genset, but again, really hadn't
bothered to look at the asking price... jeez, I wasn't ready for that.
Maybe I like loud ones and maybe I don't care who sleeps within a few
hundred metres and maybe wind gens have taken on a whole new
perspective.
www.otherpower.com made me think that sailing used to be a whole lot
easier when I was a kid and it only involved sails...
Cheers
