> Lots of people want regen, but I have yet to hear of anyone that has reliably generated more than 100w at 5kts. It is my opinion that it takes at least 7 to 8 knots of boat speed to generate any significant amount of electricity back into a battery bank. Most people are getting better results from PV solar panels, again adding cost and complexity.

I'm installing an Electric Yacht 100ib in my 30ft sloop. She's a long keel and displaces 4 tons and certainly not quick - happy to do 5knots or so in good wind. I would be interested to learn the group's experiences of regeneration, for a similar setup to mine or otherwise.
