We have a K.I.S.S. wind generator on our boat. It keeps our batteries fully charged at all times as long as the wind is blowing. We have a older big battery bank to keep charged. We will upgrade to newer batteries before go around again. I have 4 group 8 batteries.
We have our generator mounted at the top of our mizzen and that way even down wind sailing it is allowed to turn around and still put out very well. One thing we really like about the KISS is that it haqs a switch that when you turn it offm the generator will stop spinning if you need to work around it. Makes it very safe if I have to go up the mizzen or the winds get really strong. It's really quiet also.
