I am back on this wind machine idea now that I have completed my solar expansion to 350 watts total now. That takes care of all the power needs usually, but on night passages with everything on, we needed to run the engine at about 4am. So....I am thinking that a wind machine could still be added to Island Spirit.
My new find on this topic is the D-400
www.semarine.com/store/product.php?productid=279&cat=82&page=1
These are made in the UK and are limited in the US to a few dealers. The dealer I am working with, Larry Janke This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. is who I was referred to by the manufacturer. Larry sent me this DOC related to wind machines vs. alternator power.

The Boat Show Cost of this unit is around $2,000. It lists for around $2400.
When I asked Larry about the Air X/Breeze he said...
You will have to buy 3 Air Breeze to obtain the same output and you will not be able to stand the noise. D-400 has three times the output and is quiet. It is the only WG you can install inside the city limits of London.They are field repairable if that should ever become necessary. Air Breeze has to be returned to the manufacturer. The Air Breeze is a noisy little low output device, a waste of money. Buy a real wind generator. I have attached a paper on The cost savings you can expect over using your engine to charge your batteries Larry
WOW....this D-400 needs to be looked into...
Here is one more rep for the D-400
