You may recall that one of my complaints about the KISS is that the
thermal breakers start opening once the constant output of the generator
exceeds 17 A. Unfortunately that happens a lot in the Caribbean. I'd
love a generator that would just keep producing in big winds.

get an alternator type win gen (such as the Air Marine) rather than a generator
type win gen. alt types don't put out as many amps, so usually can be left
running. Of course, not much output at 10 knots, but what the hell.
