Well when we started in back in 94, we were made to sign an agreement and were told we were the first to do it, but who really knows. I worked mostly at the Portsmouth plant, all the boats are made in bristol (which I built more that a few). The portsmouth plant was dedicated to blades. They now build a cute little sailer called a Alerion, decently priced and put together ok, I did the electronics installes on a few as a sub contractor last year to help out a friend, it was fun climbing in a bilge again
they do make noise, but it is the blades, not the generators, it is a low hum, it reminds me of that austrailian instrument, the Diggerydoo (sp?) just slower. And only in very high winds
