G'day carolinelouise, and welcome aboard the YBW forums.
I did a delivery trip from Cairns to Brisbane a wile back, 40 foot Bennie, she had a wind gen fitted. Now it could be just me but I found the noise very annoying during the day, shut down at night due to noise.
Also thought it could / should have been mounted higher to avoid finger losses.
We never had a towed generator, too many sharks and marlins around.
Our own boat has 3 large solar panels and a hi tech charging and monitoring system, twin engines so 2 starter batteries and a bank of 6 house batteries.
2 fridge freezers running 24/7 without problems, we put an extra portable freezer on for fishing trips, the small amount of motoring we do seems to be enough to keep everything running OK.
Hope this helps.
