We have an Air Breeze, which puts out 5-10a/h in a decent blow, but is quite noisy. The popular Rutland is quieter & cheaper, but have very low output so are really only suitable for trickle charging on a mooring.
We’d hoped the Air Breeze would be the solution to our power needs, but unfortunately it’s not – we cruise, mainly day sailing and werever possible anchor.
This winter i’m adding 2 x 90w solar panels on a stern arch, with a MPPT controller- i wish i’d gone down this route originally so that everything (wind gen, bimini etc) would have come off the one framework.
