Problem we are solving
All current technologies for off-grid power supply on yachts have particular disadvanteges. Photovoltaic only works during noon or if sky is not overcast. Diesel generators are loud and smelly. Standard wind turbines need additional onboard constructions and produce unpleasant noise and vibrations. Water turbines only work during very fast sailing passages.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
The ampStay wind turbine provides renewable energy 24 hours a day, easy to handle, modular, whisper quiet and without demand for additional space on board. It is the world wide unique wind turbine utilising any cable as rotation axis.
