Anyone into boats. Wind genny info wanted

Lenny1969 · May 31, 2006

Right im after something along the lines of a wind generator/turbine for simple outdoor battery charging.
Does anyone here use one on a boat, or has used one?
How effective are the smaller ones? Im looking at a Rutland 503.

And does anyone have one they want to sell by any chance?

is it for charging a 12v battery len, if so there is a solar panel thingy on ebay that is good, only about 20 quid

Ye its for charging battery when out and about.
Thing with solar panels is you need a decent one, at least 60 watt upwards to do a half decent job. They are very easy to break, and they dont work at night.
The wind jobby keeps going even when your asleep.

we have 36 of em in the sea about a mile off the coast, they reckon they provide enough power to boil 3 kettles all at the same time
