DuoGen - January 2005 Newsletter

Have you visited the Schroders London Boat Show yet?

The fifty-first International boat show is being held at ExCel in Docklands from 6th – 16th January 2005.
2004 was the first Show at the new venue, and now exhibitors, and visitors, are beginning to feel more at home.
Eclectic has a great stand on a corner, just as you enter the South Hall at the S4 entrance. We are enjoying larger visitor numbers than ever this year, as the DuoGen becomes better known among serious cruising yachtsmen.
On Stand S2410, you can see for the first time the exciting new-look DuoGen with its moulded yaw arm and stiffer, 75mm diameter tower.
And you can also see the D400 Wind Generator which has exceeded expected outputs in recent tests (see the output graph later in this newsletter).
We look forward to meeting you, and taking your order for the generating system which best suits your needs.

Order your DuoGen now, and keep your batteries in a
healthy state!
Don’t risk running out of energy as you sail.

ARC 2005 and beyond
Eclectic Energy’s MD, Pete Anderson, was invited to join the Atlantic Circuit Forum held at the Show last Saturday by the World Cruising Club in association with the BMF and ‘Yachting World’.
Nearly 200 prospective ARC participants attended, to discuss issues such as power generation, water making and sail choices.
The panel of experts, including Andrew Bray, editor of ‘Yachting World’, brought together a broad range of cruising knowledge and experience to advise on equipment issues.
Towed water generators were recommended, and the panel commented in particular on the DuoGen’s ability to cover all a yacht’s electrical loads during an Atlantic crossing.
If you are planning an extended offshore cruise, you need the DuoGen!

D400
Users of our new wind turbine are reporting excellent outputs, especially in the recent gales!
Below is our output graph for the D400, showing it to be the best-performing wind generator in its class!
 

DuoGen Storage
One of the (many) great features of the DuoGen is the way in which parts not in use can be stored in minimum space.
We have recently heard from a customer who has devised a simple yet convenient way of storing the water impeller unit (see the picture above).
He screwed a coat hook (the flat variety) inside a locker, then attached a piece of box section to it with plastic ties. (You could use any piece of tube, round or square, with an internal diameter of about 2 cms.)
The water unit slots into the tube, where it is always on hand, and you can’t trip over it. Thanks for the tip, Brian.
