Rigging-suspended installation of a marine wind generator

We cruise on a small boat, a 31ft double-ender. As we’re off-grid the vast majority of the time, all electricity needs to be produced from renewable sources. Solar produces a lion’s share, but other sources are needed for overcast days. We don’t have space for a permanently mounted wind generator, so we converted a Superwind 350 to rigging-suspended. Why wind? As our 2024 cruise to the not-so-sunny Scotland demonstrated, there would still be place for wind power in the renewables mix of a long-distance sailboat. My energy production simulations from 2023 also showed a lot of promise for wind power. Our boat has a canoe stern and dual aft stays, meaning that there is not much space in the back of the boat. We had a conversation with Superwind back in 2022, and they were of the opinion that there simply isn’t a good space for installing one. And so we installed a hydrogenerator and decided that we’d go sailing if we ran out of power. But the interest in wind generators remained. And…
