Windmill or Wind Turbine- powered boats: how many are out there, and are they viable?

Catamaran Fishing Boat

Dear Ad Hoc

We are looking at the following:

Length - 15m
Breadth - 5m
GRT - 15 (to satisfy our local licensing requirements)
Draft - 1.5m
Sea-keeping performance - sea state of up to 4 (we are caught in NE, SW monsoons)

Hope this would clarify.

Thank you.

Dear Ad Hoc,

I have visited the sites that you refer to. I understand that they are for sportsfishing and other uses but no reference to commercial fishing.

I am pretty sure catamarans (or trimarans) can be designed for commercial fishing purpose. What do you think? :)

Thank you.
 
They are used as commericial fishing boats as well as workbaots. I know for certain.
If you look in the 'gallery' section:

The dimensions you quoted, are all covered by southboats. Excellent boats these are too.
 
Thank you Ad Hoc.

That certainly gives me the comfort to look at catarmaran fishing boat.
 
If this works on water can it work as well with wheeled vehicals? I can see there is a lot of physics involved but the fact it works at all violates all we believed before. awesome.
