RealityCheck is on a distinguished road
Much of my Carib time is at anchor with very little long distance sailing so a towed generator would not be useful but if I were doing long passages, I would consider it.

I'm leaning toward the stick with the KISS wind gen... they do make an adapter. I still have to figure out what my actual needs/ wants in power will be and then see if a fixed rear davit type unit or the SolarStik is the best. I do like the look of the SolarStik and wind gen vs the large flat panels on a rear support but that would probably give me more working space for other "toys" I may want to use even more power... Radar/HF Radio/Sat doms/ moon bounce arrays... geezzz maybe a really long power cord is what I need. Will never consider a genset... too much noise... not what I do sailing for and the KISS is about as low noise as a wind gen can get.

Great thread here... love the info and opinions.
