Experience the powerful but quiet operation of the new Tri-namic profile blade.

This latest turbine, the Rutland 1200, is the ideal companion for generating energy on board, read on to find out why it is the most technologically advanced micro wind turbine and controller in its class.

What is the Rutland 1200 Marine Windcharger?

The Rutland 1200 Marine is the latest in the Rutland family of marine turbines used by yachtsmen around the world since our first model in 1978. This high efficiency and technologically advanced turbine uses a high-tech MPPT controller specifically designed for charging 2 battery banks with the feature to accept input for solar panels.

When you need a reliable source of power on-board, take a look at the Rutland 1200 Marine turbine. Designed, developed and manufactured by Marlec in the UK, the Rutland 1200 Marine captures the energy in the wind to provide the power you need for fully charged batteries on board. The almost silent operation is a key feature of this innovative marine turbine that’s specifically designed for the power needs of yachts 12m or more.
