Allegedly wind is now to be recognised as a source of power and with power companies keen to reap the rewards in the same way that they did with North Sea oil.
The government will be introducing a wind tax this will be calculated on the number of Megawatts produced in a given period.
Clearly yachts will not be allowed to use this energy and not pay the tax, the fee allegedly will be calculated on the amount of power you extract based on:
sail area x wind speed (avg) x t where t= time in hours sailed.
Clearly nobody will mind paying this tax as it will be only fair and nobody has as far as I know, come up with a good reason why we shouldn't.
Also we will be able to tell our kids I remember the days when wind was free!
