Watt & Sea Hydrogenerator Diagram

Figure: Watt & Sea Hydrogenerator attached to the stern of a sailing vessel.

Good management on-board energy is key to sailing in serenity, regardless the consumption of electronics or other electrical appliances. Watt & Sea’s hydrogenerators offer energy self-sufficiency for cruise or race boats.

Stemming from ocean racing research, the first Watt & Sea hydrogenerator was created in 2008 with the objective to create a product that charged a sail boat's battery system with negligible drag. This hydrogenerator has since then been improved to provide an even more reliable and efficient product. Tested all across the globe, Watt & Sea products are powerful, reliable, and lightweight.

Cruising 300

Up to 300W of hydroelectric energy production!

The Cruising 300 is recommended for boats measuring up to 35 feet. Available in two lengths in order to optimize the immersion of the propeller. Ideal on boats sailing generally from 4 to 6 knots, and consuming 8 Amps~ (in a 12V installation).

  • Outputs 100W from 5 knots
  • Lightweight: 6.3 kg (14 lbs)
  • Two-year warranty
  • Quiet operation
  • Hydrodynamic design
  • Mobile Bluetooth interface

Cruising 600

Up to 600W of hydroelectric energy production!

The Cruising 600 is ideal for sailing boats over 35 feet. Available in two lengths to optimize the immersion of the propeller. Output power of the hydrogenerator increases exponentially when travelling over 6 knots, and operates best within 3 to 20 knots.

  • Outputs 120W from 5 knots
  • Lightweight: 7.4 kg (16 lbs)
  • Two-year warranty
  • Quiet operation
  • Hydrodynamic design
  • Mobile Bluetooth interface
