Water Towed Generators for Electric Boats

Towed generators are useful for long-distance cruising yachts which sail in deep water. The water towed generator is towed astern of vthe boat as it is underway when wind-powered and a significant amount of electricity can be generated this way.

Some towed turbines for deep water yachts can be quickly turned into wind-turbines which allows for increased power efficiency as the turbine can then be used when the boat is at anchor.

Using a water towed generator is a more efficient use of the wind power a yacht already captures with its sails when underway.

Water Towed Generators for Electric Boats on the web.

Ampair - Ampair Water Towed Generators and Turbines - Ampair makes two types of water powered generators.

Duogen - DuoGen combined water / wind generator - The duogen is powerful enought to supply all the power needs of most cruising yachts and can easily be converted into a static wind generator when the boat is at anchor.
