Ampair microwind, microhydro, and small wind power systems. looks like a nice simple option.

Aquagen Aquagen Water Generators - www.solar-wind.co.uk also seems like a decent option.

The Red Baron had a good review in Power plucked from the air | Articles & Archives | Ocean Navigator: The magazine for long-distance offshore sailing and power voyaging but unfortunately seems that it may not have a reliable manufacturing future. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ted-14250.html

Marine Wind Generator Mounting Options does seem to still be selling them though.

HTH. Ben.

Donradcliffe. Any feedback on why about half of them failed?

Cheers.
