My cat has a lot of real estate so I put a lot of solar. I rarely motor and mostly sail, but when I have extra power because the battery is full and the sun is shining, I can get a small speed boost for free. I have plenty of excess energy and have plugged into shore power maybe twice in the last year. Many folks have a generator in case they need more range and there isn't enough wind. But I personally haven't needed it yet, but I also don't sail long distances. I would probably bring a generator if I did, in case there's no wind and I need to move. My friend has a generator aboard but hasn't used it once yet, and he made it to Puerto Vallarta from SF.
