Edd, Your use of “pull the trigger” is ironic, since it is what I want to do any time a person with a wind generator picks up a mooring or anchors anywhere within ear shot of my boat. Well maybe not quite that severe, but there are few sounds more annoying to me than a wind generator buzzing all night long when I’m trying to enjoy a quiet anchorage. When solar power is becoming so inexpensive and reliable, why resort to a mechanical alternative that adds windage, complexity, and detracts from the lovely lines of your C&C?
But there are a number of satisfactory mounting systems now available from SeaView and Edson should you venture in that direction… Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 LF Padanaram, MA From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Edd Schillay via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 1:10 PM To: C&C List <[email protected]> Cc: Edd Schillay <[email protected]> Subject: Stus-List Wind Turbine / Generators Listers, After watching the Brown family on Alaskan Bush People last night install a wind turbine to power their part of the island, I got to thinking (usually a very dangerous and costly thing to do) and found this on Defender: http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|328|2290063|2290064 <http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C328%7C2290063%7C2290064&id=2188348> &id=2188348 So — has anyone installed a wind turbine/generator on their C&C? Pros? Cons? How did you mount it? Any photos of your mounts would be appreciated in case I pull the trigger. All the best, Edd Edd M.
