The Ferris Windpower 200 advertises 15 Amp output in about 18 kts.
of wind. I sure hope it doesn't take that much wind to get your
boat up to 5 kts.? I assume that your wind generator does a lot
better than that?

Remember that your wind gen is not inducing drag while it is
running. The water gen is. One could design what your are asking
for but it would take a boat larger (much) than the Vancouver 27
that started this thread.

While I have seen units advertising both low speed start-up and
great high speed output I have seen no independent test to verify
such.
