A New Paradigm for Cruising

Whispergen Generators

Hello, I am wondering if you have any experience with Whispergen generators. I have read their information and they sound very good, however I have not met anyone who has one to get a first-hand story about their efficiency. Hope you can help. Brent

Hi Brent: I have not had any direct experience with Whispergen. However, the sterling engine concept has fascinated us for many years. The ability to get DC power, domestic heat and hot water from one unit is very enticing. Kelly Archer installed one of these on a boat he recently built and it does work. It remains to be seen how reliable the unit will be – but they seem to have a good reputation in New Zealand. – Steve

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
