Superwind 350

In regards to the Superwind, in higher winds...

I'm in St Augustine, sitting at anchor, through "hurricane" Nicole. I've got solar and a Marine Kinetix wind generator, but due to heavy cloud cover, and high winds, I'm stuck with very little renewable energy. The Marine Kinetix shuts down above 28 knots of wind, and the solar is severely limited in heavy cloud cover.

Is there anyone out there with a Superwind 350, sitting through Nicole, or some other wind event, that can speak to the functionality of their wind generators?

I'd like to know if it continually puts out 350W in high winds, (when the batteries are low) as the charts seem to show, and whether or not it gets noisy when the blades feather in higher winds.

I'm mostly interested in winds between 30 and 50 knots. Under 30 knots, I'm told they're very quiet, and over 50 knots I couldn't hear a freight train over the wind anyway.

I know the D400 is able to output in higher winds, but I'm only interested in the Superwind units.

Thanks.
Paul.
