DISAGREEMENTS ON A BOAT. should we have a generator on a simple, fast, multihull cruiser?

http://tulasendlesssummer.com/shop-tula/ There was a LOT that happened in this sailing vlog. We did a bunch of random boat work jobs, debated on if we should cruise with our mini honda generator, talked about our seagull striker tensioning system, showed our new titanium chainplates, installed our mack pack, and Sierra even spliced up a bunch of new dyneema lazy jacks! Check out the resources below.
