we have seen two boats that lost the wind gen when the boat was hobby-horsing in rough seas and the pole holding the wind gen snapped off. Both had a substantial rig and it had lasted for many miles until it failed. Fortunately no one was hurt in either case. But this is a consideration in designing this type of set up. Best to confer with someone on sight that has knowledge of the structural needs of your particular design.
