Hi,
You might care to think twice about buying a combined unit, bearing in mind that with some (e.g. Duogen) if the generator packs up you've lost BOTH sources of power generation.
We cruised for almost ten years full time using a Rutland 913 wind generator (do a search for lot of info) and an Aqua4gen towed generator so giving us a DUAL charging most of the time. Obviously if one unit went wrong, there was still the other to provide power.
We did do an Atlantic circuit using a unit that could be adapted from wind-gen to water-gen (Aquair?) which was fine, but took a relatively long time to convert from water to wind, AND of course, again only uses one generator.
It's a very personal view of course, but I think the Duogen is a spectacularly ugly piece of equipment and extremely expensive.
Good luck with what you decide on.
